THURSTON MOORE has spent the past 15 years trying, with varying degrees of success, to outstrip his past. The co-founder of one of rock’n’roll’s most singular bands, his guitar playing – forever slanted, holding onto reality as if by tenterhooks – helped redefine the form’s codex and possibilities. Sonic Youth are now an institution, a piece of the path to whatever comes next. Moore’s solo material since the band’s difficult split has never cleared the hurdle of that legacy.
