Sonic Youth was, more than three decades ago, a brief but important stop in my journey discovering music. I rarely listen to the band these days, but still enjoy some of their early music, which mixes punk, noise and experimentation with a lot of feedback. The musicians from Land Whales are clearly Sonic Youth fans and this short, edgy song wouldn’t stand out on, say, Daydream Nation (I wrote this before discovering they used to be named after a song from that album). Extra cool: they are from Havana, Cuba and released their debut album on Peru’s Buh Records.
