Sonic Youth have created a new mixtape – it even looks like a tape – which features old demos from earlier record Daydream Nation and a couple of songs from their upcoming record Simon Werner A Disparu. Sonic Youth started 2011 with a midnight set at Hammersmith Apollo which FST’s very own Stephen Smith reviewed for the Line of Best Fit. Hear the mixtape here.
