Thurston Moore is “New in Town” on new single

On his 66th birthday, Thurston Moore has shared a new single titled “New in Town” from his upcoming album, Flow Critical Lucidity. Stream it below.

Penned by Radieux Radio, the experimental “New in Town” was influenced by 1980s punk and hardcore bands like Minor Threat, Fugazi, Bad Brains, and Red C. Built around off-kilter percussion and Moore’s detached delivery, the track’s theme is “fresh blood,” as the artist explained in a statement.

Moore added, “The song is about… the new kid in school. The new kid on the scene. A new potential for change in an already active community hoping to protect the world from the poisons of power-hungry creeps. The spirit of youth demonstrated in the early ’80s slam pits of hardcore refusing the worn-out expectations of adulthood.”

Flow Critical Lucidity also features the previous singles “Sans Limites,” “Hypnogram,” and “Rewilding.” It’s out on September 20th, and pre-orders are ongoing.

Moore has set a series of upcoming live appearances, including an album launch party on September 22nd at London’s Rough Trade East, readings of his memoir Sonic Life, and a few concerts with the Thurston Moore Group. See the schedule and individual links to tickets below.
