Not their most popular album by any stretch of the imagination but Sonic Youth have had some inspired artwork for flyers, posters and packaging often using the young and the hip before they make it big time and there is no pretence, there is no Saatchi style buy all artwork and see what becomes popular going on. They just have an eye and a gift for selecting interesting work.
The Murray Street album is no different. A couple of kids under some strawberry netting may not be an obvious cover for a now ageing experimental noise band from NYC, however it doesn't seem out of place either.
Sonic Youth rock, there's no debate required, it's fact.
