This album was put together by Sonic Youth in the memory of one of their most devoted fans Jason Knuth who had taken his own life. Filled with roaring and howling sounds like an airplane buring over the Pacific. Thurston Moore describes this as his favorite album. First time ever on CD. Proceds from this CD will go to fun the San Francisco suicide prevention hotline.
Excerpted from the liner notes: "A note on the music: Silver Sessions were taken from an evening when SY had to do vocal overdubs for 'A Thousand Leaves'?the band upstairs was hammering out some funky metal overdrive and we couldn't 'sing' properly (?!)?we decided to fight fire with molten lava and turned up every amp we owned on to 10+ and leaned as many guitars and basses we could plug in against them and they roared/HOWLED like airplanes burning over the pacific?we could only enter the playing room with hands pressed hard against our ears and even then it was physically stunning?we ran a sick outmoded beatbox through the p.a. and it blew out horrendous distorted pulsations."
