After releasing two acclaimed solo LPs, 1995’s Psychic Hearts (DGC/Geffen Records) and 2007’s Trees Outside the Academy (Ecstatic Peace Records), Sonic Youth chief songwriter, singer and guitarist Thurston Moore presents In Silver Rain with a Paper Key, a hardcover monograph containing two 7” 45 rpm vinyl records. The contents will feature art, photographs, lyrics, poetry and other texts from Moore’s personal notebooks and visual archives. The songs featured on the two 7”s will feature new compositions by Moore including ‘You’ve Lost Your Lover’, ‘Circulation’ and ‘Blood’. The songs are recorded in Western Massachusetts on 12-string acoustic guitar, expanding on Moore’s investigation of a radical and personalized acoustic guitar first featured on Trees Outside the Academy. With In Silver Rain with a Paper Key Moore’s well know work as a poet, bookmaker, artist and editor are at last united with his legendary guitar virtuosity and songwriting skills. This highly collectible book-record constitutes a superb statement of Moore’s many abilities.
