ABOUT THIS ITEM

'Abrasive and archaic, theatrical and confrontational, "Confusion Is Sex" marks the opening strides that Sonic Youth made during their long slog through the American underground scene of the 80s. And yes, this album is underground if anything — it's lo-fi to the point of tonal drabness, as the instruments seem to ring out in only one tone, that of screechy noise. Yet that tone in itself is part of the album's style, which is one of antithesis. The album isn't comprised of songs but rather soundscapes, while the instruments are your traditional guitar-bass-drums-vocals lineup but are performed most untraditionally. Taken as a whole, "Confusion Is Sex" is a spellbinding listen, especially the first time through. If you're a bona fide Sonic Youth fan, chances are you'll find it especially spellbinding - the more of the band's albums you've heard, the better'. - All Music.
