Daydream Nation: More Distortion

Sonic Youth were part of a vanguard of bands in the late 80s redefining what guitar music and American rock could sound like. In this episode, we look at more recent artists that wield Distortion with a similar verve to Sonic Youth: Silversun Pickups and Mitski. We discuss how such heavy, fuzzy effects can increase emotional impact. We also realize that Rock Band II has to be the subject of a future Deci’s Midnight Runners.
