RANALDO, LEE & THE DUST - LAST NIGHT ON EARTH (2LP)

"'Last Night On Earth' is the new album from Sonic Youth founding member Lee Ranaldo and The Dust (drummer Steve Shelley, guitarist Alan Licht and bassist Tim Lüntzel). A more intense, expansive work than 2012's 'Between The Times & The Tides', 'Last Night' - while certainly darker in tone & lyrical content than its immediate predecessor - is the sort of dizzying electric guitar clinic that ranks amongst the best from any era. After an exhaustive stretch of domestic and international touring Lee & The Dust have formed a powerhouse unit, and we're confident the results of these Echo Canyon West sessions will impress & inspire for months to come, if not far longer."
