Description: Taking a break from bluegrass to play around with some Primus.

A poolside jam on a hill looking out onto Lake Michigan, in Michigan.
This is the first recording of this 1981 series of two (before we got loud).
It was our first tune, and I didn't even know we were doing a cover, but I caught on after finding my guitar tone.
This was recorded with a boombox.

I really love this Sonic Youth track -- the melancholic vibe, the swirling guitar ambience, and Thursten Moore's slightly introspective vocals -- and felt it would be perfect for sampling for a lo-fi house track. I ended up creating an unofficial remix of this 90s alternative rock classic in the style of lofi/outsider house that I think still retains the feel of the original track.

Apart from the drums and some extra bass, almost all the music is manipulated samples taken from the original track, building on the evocative guitar textures Sonic Youth were famous for. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
