Sonic Youth have shared a new live album, a set recorded in Kyiv, Ukraine on April 14, 1989. Proceeds from the set benefit World Central Kitchen and Ukrainian relief efforts. Check it out below.
Despite their official breakup in 2011, Sonic Youth have maintained a regular archival release schedule. Last year, they issued a pair of live recordings from Texas to benefit abortion rights: one set from Austin in 1995 and the other from Dallas in 2006. The band most recently released In/Out/In, a collection of mostly instrumental recordings completed between 2000 and 2010.
