This is the opening track from Sonic Youth’s third album, EVOL, which is the only one I own, alongside a 12-inch single of Death Valley ’69.

I always thought it was that song’s guest vocalist, Lydia Lunch, who appears on the album cover in characteristically snarling pose.

In fact it’s a model with the wonderful name of Lung Leg, who had appeared in the video for Death Valley ’69.

Released in 1986, EVOL is now regarded as an iconic release of the No Wave genre. But they had evolved beyond that.

With its avant-garde embellishments owing a debt to Glenn Branca’s walls of guitar noise, the dark dreaminess of songs like Tom Violence dipped a tentative toe in the waters of pop while the rest of the album was immersed in noise.
