Thurston Moore – 2013-2016 közti kiadatlan felvételek a Sonic Youth egykori vezérétől

Az 1958-as születésű Moore a feleségétől, a basszusgitáros-énekesnő Kim Gordontól való válása és három évtizeden át vitt közös együttesüknek, a Sonic Youth-nak a 2011-es szétesése után már 2012-ben alapított egy újabb noise-rock zenekart Chelsea Light Moving néven három kevésbé ismert zenésszel, a gitáros Keith Wooddal, a basszistalány Samara Lubelskivel és a dobos John Moloney-val (akik a japán turnéjuk idején maszkban láthatók a fenti fotón) – ám a 2013-as címnélküli debütalbumuk után 2014-től már inkább visszatért a jól csengő Thurston Moore névhez, és a bevezetőben említett híresebb muzsikusokat választotta maga köré kísérőknek, egy kvázi-szupergruppfelállást létrehozva (amint az a fenti képpár jobb oldalán látható).

A gitáros-énekes archívumában azonban maradtak még kiadatlan Chelsea Light Moving-felvételek, és ezeket kezdte most a karanténban unatkozva feltölteni Bandcamp-oldalára rövid kommnetárokkal, ám a negyedikként ma közétett Instant Transcendent Conjecture című szám már nem 2013-ból való, hanem 2016-ban a Rock N Roll Consciousness lemezanyag felvételei idején készült Steve Shelley-nek, Debbie Googe-nak és James Sedwardsnak a kíséretével a sztárproducer Paul Epworth londoni stúdiójában.

This wild child was let loose in 2016 whilst the TMG (Thurston Moore Group) was laying down sounds for our Rock n Roll Consciousness release the following year. “Instant Transcendent Conjecture” is a cryptic suggestion into the realization of the poem as a springing into nature. Through the haze of chemical assault, the spring springs by any means necessary. Earth prayers are in action. Transcendence through understanding, and through sacrifice :: we are here in community service to a garden named Heaven. To paraphrase the lads from Liverpool, “Get Back to where you once belonged..”

Instant Transcendent Conjecture

Wild cry streaking heart reaction
Elektro soul magnetic attraction

Sounding room televison
Freedom flowers live explosion

Instant transcendent conjecture
Ferocious coherent reflector

Wild cry streaking heart reaction
Elektro soul magnetic attraction
Realization compelled to rapture
Compells a poem to it’s capture

.
FRISSÍTÉS: a gitáros-énekes május legelején egy May Daze című másik kiadatlan 2016-os felvételt is közzétett a Thurston Moore Group-szupergruppfelállástól, a hozzá fűzött üzenetben pedig a 2020-as amerikai elnökválasztáson való szavazásra buzdít!

a soundtrack for our usa sisters + brothers to register as voters today, if you still need to – we can change the world – free all political prisoners – insurrection for common decency – rock n roll consciousness – more to come

You must be on some kind of revolution kick
Modernity is on the line and says you’re making them sick
Wars and borders, prisons and swords we don’t understand how
Let’s already overthrow overthrowing now

I’m not the type of guy
Who wants to change the world
She’s not the type of guy
He’s a new century girl

Transparency especially in your soldier’s dress
Screw policy if you’re in prison then we’re the one’s under arrest
Star children have taken over they’re broadcasting peace
Time and space have no place for a sister who needs to be free

I’m not the type of guy
Who wants to change the world
She’s not the type of guy
He’s just a new century girl

You took me by surprise
When you dared me to
Glitter everything with change
And i’ll break the rules with you

.
ezek pedig a 2013-ban született No Go, Sunday Stage és Telegraph című Chelsea Light Moving-számok a Bandcamp-sorozat első két hetéből:

With the contemporary malaise of thinking for one’s self in the face of crisis and responsibility beyond the concerns and anxiety of ego where signals jam and permissions are crossed with liberation and with sonic meditation you follow your heart. Punk Rock is all about having loud pulse pounding fun and fighting for yr rights while looking out for each other in the pit. NO(W) GO!!!!!!!

Say what you will
Stay wher you are
Say what you will
Stay wher you are
No No No No No No No No
No Go
No Go
No Go
No Go
No Go

It’s Sunday 29 March 2020 and we are all on the same page in our shelters if we are so lucky with food and drink if so blessed and with a loved one or two or three if the gods are really shining – maybe they are – i always feel they are, even in the worst of times – faith is key – religion is what you want for your own devotion to being here and now and today i love rock n roll “do you love rock n’ roll” ” i do – and i love you” the resonant response of the Earth. We are fighting for each other hopefully with dignity despite the horror shows abounding in the hospices where brave soldiers save lives as much as they can – we salute you with loud love and raised guitars. it is time to pray to overthrow the weak governance of merchants of greed, insurrection blowing wild from the amplifiers, our hearts held in Sunday service.

Sunday stage
The ripped up page
We’ll stay up late
Til sunday babe

Hush Arbors
The dripping slurs
The crushing verbs
The smashing thirst

A song written in Seattle, Washington in 2014 on tour as Chelsea Light Moving. Originally performed on the great KEXP-FM as “The Exstasie” with lyrics taken from a poem by John Donne (1572-1631) of the same name. Later re-mixed in London, UK with re-recorded vox + lyrics self-penned as a flashlight to the future of a planet in desperate need of love and rock n’ soul activism. Chelsea Light Moving, though we made but one LP, was a sweet group and I’ll always adore these cats, the memories of travel and dialogue and the times we spent making music and honest friendship. London had come a-calling and love was truly a-beckoning, and now we all stand as fighters for an Earth in need of natural respect and dignity. Peace, good energy – Thurston

Here’s where the mantra begins
Where the wildfires reach for the wind
Blue days break for yr pleasure
And the gold rays color yr skin
Here’s where we make our commotion
Where the amplifiers all cry
Raise yr guitar to sky devotion
Let the high priests sing out the night
And where do all the evil crazies go
The drunken dripping demons down below
This is where the messages rise above
Shooting stars and candles lit for love
Here’s where we fall into light dreams
Where the flowers sweetly incite bees
Yr guitar is a honey suck angel
Drumsticks play in the free breeze
And why do all the oceans erupt
And all the mountains crumble to dust
Destruction with no hope and no prayer
Telegraph yr soul into the clear
