ONO, YOKO / KIM GORDON / THURSTON MOORE ”Yokokimthurston” CD

This is NYC avant garde convergence at its finest. The idea of a meeting between YOKO ONO, KIM GORDON and THURSTON MOORE is so perfect, so obvious, the only shock is that it didn't happen earlier. Recorded in 2011 at Manhattan's Sear Sound, the album features lead vocals by Yoko, with backing vocals & guitars by Kim & Thurston. It's a wild collision of song-form, poetics, free-rock & classic glossolalic ecstasy. Yoko has not allowed herself to sound this raw since the earliest recordings of the PLASTIC ONO BAND. There's a remarkably empathic & comfortable quality to the sound. The 3 communicate as though they'd been playing together foreve
