But really important, perhaps most important is the craft; how you make your record, the creation of these sonic worlds you want your listener to hear.
Duncan Sheik

Each member does whatever they want with the song and it totally changes it from whatever idea I hear around it. It turns it into a Sonic Youth song and completely away from it being a solo song.
Thurston Moore

First, I'm trying to edit down about 7 hours of material which I made prior to the Cop days and find some way to get it out. This stuff is pretty out there, mostly sonic collages and tape manipulations.
Jim Coleman

Lyric writing is an interesting process in Sonic Youth. There's three people writing now, and we've all had a lot of interest and involvement with expression through words.
Thurston Moore

Pixies and Sonic Youth were so important to the eighties.
David Bowie

There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do.
Kim Gordon

We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.
Daisy Berkowitz

James Young
