Sonic Youth - A Thousand Leaves

A Thousand Leaves is Sonic Youth's twelfth album, following the release of three EPs on their own newly established record label. For the first time, SY debuted their new material progress with each performance. With their own studio capable of producing more than just demos, they were now able to record virtually anything they wanted, and they enlisted former "Confusion is Sex" producer Wharton Tiers to assist with the sessions, paving the way for the abundance of material released by the band in 1997 and 1998.
