While Thurston Moore has carried his Stooges-worshipping and teenage rioting nihilism over into his new ensemble, Chelsea Light Moving, Kim Gordon has relapsed to her <i>Confusion Is Next <\/i>days in Body\/Head, which exudes no shortage of fuck-bombed schizophrenia itself. Enter Lee Ranaldo, Moore\u2019s erstwhile guitar-assaulting accomplice, who in the past year has delivered a pair of albums that shun the blear of experimental smudging in favor of a hook-heavy, pop-scuffed rock &amp; roll sound. That\u2019s not to say that Ranaldo has brushed aside his noise-hawking roots on his latest effort, <i>Last Night on Earth<\/i> (Matador Records). In fact, the nine-track album compliments Moore\u2019s and Gordon\u2019s current respective projects quite well, rousing forth the gunk-oozing grunge squalls of <i>Dirty<\/i>-era SY to the blasted noise rockings of the group\u2019s coda, <i>The Eternal<\/i>. For those still in doubt-mode regarding SY\u2019s demise, the spidery psychedelia of \u201cBlackt Out\u201d or spiky guitar pop of \u201cAmbulancer\u201d should soothe a fevered brow in the wake of his former outfit\u2019s curtain call.<\/p>\n<p>Along for the ride on <i>Earth<\/i> is Ranaldo\u2019s backing band, The Dust, whose members are certainly no strangers to the free rock spectrum. With ex-SY drummer Steve Shelley stationed behind the kit, Ranaldo has a familiar face co-anchoring the rhythm section alongside bassist Tim Luntzel (Bright Eyes, Loudon Wainwright III), while he links up with fellow guitarist and experimental composer Alan Licht to mine noisier depths. Given Licht\u2019s credentials as a solo artist and frequent collaborator under the frayed wings of Loren Mazzacane Connors and Jandek, it\u2019s no wonder that Ranaldo would pair up with a skilled guitarist of Licht\u2019s caliber. In lieu of Moore\u2019s absence, Licht provides equal footing for any of Ranaldo\u2019s scorch-toasting impulses during <i>Earth\u2019s<\/i> hour-long excursion. Inspired by his time spent holed up in his apartment during and after Hurricane Sandy\u2019s rampage upon New York City last fall, the album\u2019s dark subject matter eludes to a sense of desolation and regret, all the while maintaining a somewhat optimistic drive and softness both musically and spiritually. Such can be heard on <i>Earth\u2019s<\/i> opening number, \u201cLecce, Leaving,\u201d which erupts with a fuzzified wah-pedaled guitar solo straight from the J. Mascis guidebook to freaking out, before giving way to a steady pulse of acoustic strumming and rippling notes. \u201cThe marble floor is cold and I can smell the sea. I walk these streets of old with you standing right by me,\u201d sings Ranaldo during the first verse, before the group ups the ante with a skull-rattling fuss of feedback and buzz during the song\u2019s bridge. Bringing their amp-blown rumble down to a placid simmer, Ranaldo and The Dust follow up the jam with \u201cKey\/Hole,\u201d a calming account of loss and self-reflection. \u201cLet\u2019s make the best of a bad situation, try to define love anyway we can,\u201d laments a seemingly upbeat-sounding Ranaldo, begging the question as to whether or not he\u2019s referencing his current relationship with his ex-bandmates, or perhaps, the publicized collapse of their marriage?<\/p>\n<p>Coupled with his 2012 companion piece, <i>Between the Times and the Tides<\/i>, <i>Earth<\/i> further projects Ranaldo\u2019s credibility as a songwriter and storyteller to heights unseen. While the lion\u2019s share of the material from his SY years featured either Moore or Gordon handling microphone duties, Ranaldo always managed to thrust himself into the limelight for a punchy song or two on each album, perhaps to break up some of the creative tension between Moore\u2019s saw-toothed whoppers and Gordon\u2019s grunted incantations. With jam-worthy crushers such as \u201cMote\u201d and \u201cWish Fulfillment\u201d amongst his list of accolades from the SY catalog, Ranaldo\u2019s knack for writing the perfect pop-rocker with just the right amount of bite has come full circle with <i>Earth<\/i>. After years of being firmly stuffed in the back pocket of one of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century\u2019s greatest punk bands, it\u2019s nice to see this seasoned veteran shift from sidekick to full-fledged leader of the pack, and finally get his due.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the dust has finally begun to settle following Sonic Youth\u2019s untimely break-up after a 30-year run as a punk\/alt-rock mainstay, it still remains to be seen whether or not its founding members have stepped out from its lofty, looming shadow.
