Sonic Youth

On October 27, 2009, Sonic Youth performed live at Canal+ Television Studios in Paris for "L'Album de la Semaine," a program showcasing the artists of the moment. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "The Eternal," which had dropped earlier that year, marking their first release on an independent label after a long stint with major labels. "The Eternal" received critical acclaim and showcased the band's signature noise rock sound while maintaining a fresh, experimental edge. Sonic Youth's ability to infuse emotional depth and intricate guitar work into their performances often leaves audiences mesmerized, and this particular show is no exception. It's fascinating to think about their journey—after nearly three decades in the industry, the band continued to evolve, pushing boundaries and keeping their music relevant. This live recording is a snapshot of a group still very much in their element.
