About this item

Flow Critical Lucidity is his ninth solo recording. Some of the songs were written & arranged in Europe and The United Kingdom and include lyrical references to their environments and inspired by nature, lucid dreaming, modern dance and Isadora Duncan. The album was arranged at La Becque in Switzerland and recorded at Total Refreshment Studios in London in 2022, and mixed at Hermitage Studios in London with Margo Broom in 2023.

Flow Critical Lucidity comes from a lyric in the single ‘Sans Limites’ and the album sleeve cover art features Jamie Nares’ ‘Samurai Walkman’ — a helmet befitted with tuning forks. Jamie Nares (born in Great Britain) is a life long friend of Thurston Moore from his New York No Wave days and the two have often collaborated in art & music.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A beautiful, musically mature collection of pieces from one of the members of the biggest band in rock history. Moore's latest is a beautifully balanced suite of slow-paced minimalist guitars and flickering piano, slowly morphing crescendos and heartfelt sonic tales. It's a wonderful new chapter for one of the legends of alt-rock.
