New York’s most influential avant-garde rock band Sonic Youth follows up their critically acclaimed release of Rather Ripped earlier this year with a special set that is sure to complete the collection of all Sonic Youth fans. The Destroyed Room: B-sides And Rarities, a band-chosen collection of near-hidden Sonic Youth gems, will be released on Geffen Records December 12th.
The album brings together songs from throughout the band’s career with Geffen Records, focusing on tracks previously available only on vinyl, limited-release compilations, or as b-sides to international singles. The tracks were hand picked by the band and also include material that has never before been released (see track listing below).
