Reuniting with Sonic Youth is "something that’s always going to be on the table," Moore said in a recent interview.
"It utterly bereaves me to pass on the news."
“Sonic Life tells the story of my childhood and teenage years as I fell in love with music."
“It is within this context that we present our 2021 festival, and pray it brings a glimmer of light in these uncertain times."

"An invigorating widescreen listen that more than lives up to Moore's high quality artistic output."
"That's what I tell people: 'Take this record, put it on your boombox and just blast it at the Trump Tower.'"
