Bleep

Thurston Moore, of Sonic Youth fame, delivers his first solo album in four years. The Best Day features members of My Bloody Valentine and Moore's own former band, and shifts between his signature frenetic thrash and more restrained 12-string ballads. Covering a range of themes, from anti-establishment anthems ('Speak To The Wild') to inspirational gender-positive dirges ('Vocabularies'), The Best Day sees Moore at his most restrained in years - while he still packs in an 11-minute powerhouse in the shape of 'Forevermore' - this is one for old friends and newcomers alike.
