Sonic Youth guitarist does it acoustic (with Beck's blessing).

Thurston Moore is a busy bee. In recent months he just recently provided yet another acclaimed soundtrack with Sonic Youth (‘Simon Werner a disparu’ on their very own Sonic Youth Records), he still runs the exciting Ecstatic Peace! label (which will be making a series of releases in coming months) and he's been working on his first ‘solo’-album. That album will bear the title ‘Demolished Thoughts’ and is Moore’s third ‘regular’ solo-album, following on from ‘Psychic Hearts’ (’95) and ‘Trees Outside The Academy’ (’07). The acoustic opening track ‘Benediction’ was recently released upon ‘the net’ and is certainly a little gem. ‘Demolished Thoughts’ bathes in a production by none less than Beck and sounds remarkably quiet with mainly acoustic guitar work with piece of violin here and there. It's already from ’07 ago that Thurston Moore appeared in AB, this time it's as a trio with Samara Lubelski on violin and Mary Lattimore on harp.

Support act will be shoegaze/krautrock ensemble Disappears from Chicago. Disappears will be opening the evening at the request of Thurston Moore himself. Disappears already have two albums released: 'Lux' and just recently 'Guider' on which we hear Spacemen 3, A Place To Bury Strangers and also 'Sister Ray' by The Velvet Underground resound. Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley recently joined the band.
