    rest in peace. I've listened to this song thousands of times, so sad that we'll never get anything like it again.

      RIP. You can get the Public Strain reissue and a 12" of rarities. Pre orders are open now through Flemish Eye if yer in Canada. A vinyl copy will honor the lost.

      Eugene Kuznetzov I could almost agree but Sonic Youth would never write something quite like the outro. And Kim is a little less present on bass than this.

      Steve Meyer I disagree, the noisy and drone-y verses feel the most Sonic Youth to me. What part of Cross the Breeze sounds all jangly and stark like that? I think Lee and Thurston’s parts blend in a pretty different way and dance around one another less.

      Have you given Viet Cong a listen? Is the most similar I've heard since then... half the band were members of Women. But yeah, I'm also very sad that they broke up.

    Ils me donnent le même bonheur subtil que le groupe 'This Heat'. Mais si je comprends bien certains commentaires cet excellent groupe (Women) n'existerait plus aujourd'hui? C'est triste, je viens à peine de les découvrir et il ne présageait que du bon.

    • @sizone
      @sizone 7 лет назад +5

      Felicitations! Voila, quelq'un qui comprend les origines de ces sons musicales -- Red Crayola (avant le re-epelage), This Heat, Swell Maps, DNA/Theoretical Girls. Tout les autres peuves seulement penser a Sonic Youth.
      merci bien and apologies for my shit french.

      Thank you for this nice reaction to my comment. I agree, too often people have a superficial and caricatured apprehension of the sounds they hear,
      My approximate English is only that of the translator but as I am sensitive to your effort to write to me in French I could not do less.

      @Clément Fievet, the whole song is one big Sonic Youth tribute straight from Confusion is Sex. It's no less wonderful as a result. The Pitchfork intro and visuals, however, are embarrassing.

    • @sizone
      @sizone 7 лет назад +4

      yall are forgetting the Swell Maps influence on the vocals (more apparent in the album version with the broken duet singing). The album version is more angular, can hear the dissonance against the harmonies better.

    Love how out of tune the guitars are by the time they reach the outro, and then they play straight through the supposed-to-be melodic part like it’s nothing. Like walking through an aftermath regretting everything that’s happened.
