Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo has unveiled a new video for his song ‘Off the Wall’, the first to be taken from his forthcoming solo album ‘Between The Times and The Tides’, which is due for release on 26th March. The video is available to watch below.
‘Between The Times and The Tides’ was recorded with long-standing Sonic Youth producer John Agnello, who has also worked with the likes of The Hold Steady, Dinosaur Jr. and The Living End. The album features Nels Cline from Wilco on guitar and Ranaldo’s Sonic Youth bandmate Steve Shelley on drums, as well as contributions from former Sonic Youth members Bob Bert and Jim O’Rourke.
Lee Ranaldo and his band are due to be performing at this year’s Primavera Festival in June and are currently planning to tour the UK around the same time.
Lee Ranaldo is a co-founding member of Sonic Youth, having joined the New York-based alternative rockers in 1981 alongside Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. He released his first solo album ‘From Here to Infinity’ in 1987. In addition to a number of other collaborations, Ranaldo appeared on The Cribs’ third album, 2007’s ‘Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever’, on the track ‘Be Safe’.
In 2011, the year of Sonic Youth’s 30th anniversary, Ranaldo’s bandmates Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon announced that they were to separate after 27 years of marriage. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Ranaldo talked about ‘Between The Times and The Tides’ and a bit about the future of Sonic Youth.
