Sonic Youth

The live recording of 'Inhuman' takes us back to February 24, 1983, when Sonic Youth was still carving out their identity in the vibrant underground scene. Just a year prior, they released their first significant album, 'Confusion Is Sex,' which showcased their avant-garde approach and experimental sound. By this time in their career, the band was starting to gain attention for their unique blend of noise rock and punk influences. Interestingly, 'Inhuman' is a part of their live set that reflects their raw, energetic performances, which were pivotal in building their reputation. This specific performance recorded in Venlo, Holland, captures the essence of their early days—bold and unfiltered. It’s fascinating how these early gigs laid the groundwork for what would become a groundbreaking discography, don't you think?
