Sonic Youth

In 2009, Sonic Youth was riding high on their legacy, having released 'The Eternal' just a year prior, which was their first album with Matador Records. This era was significant as it marked a return to their indie roots after years of working with major labels. The live recording from the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona showcases their evolution and celebrated raw sound, capturing the essence of their dynamic live performances. Interestingly, this concert took place during a period of both critical and commercial resurgence for the band. With the venue, Parc del Fòrum, creating an electric atmosphere, audiences were treated to a mix of classic tracks and fresh material, solidifying Sonic Youth's status as trailblazers in the alternative scene, even as they were navigating changes in their musical journey.
