VIDEO THRWBCK: Sonic Youth - "Shadow of a Doubt"

This song, pulled from the premonitory '86 LP Evol, sees the band drifting toward the regions the best Sonic Youth songs inhabit, an atmosphere somewhere between wide awake and deep dream, guitars flinching sore for a while before rising in a sudden summit of noise. Still thriving in that space over two decades later, the New York troupe just announced that 16th studio album The Eternal will arrive in June. Looking back, this was a major step in them getting there - the first album to feature current drummer Steve Shelley, Evol was also a move away from the noise-rock ghetto into something less obnoxious and more subversive, a shy saboteur creeping on the subconscious like night terror, existing in that doomed place, the "Shadow of a Doubt".
