They were gradually transforming bouts of alternate tuning overkill into tightly crafted song. Daydream Nation (1988) remains their pinnacle achievement, a thematically coherent pastiche of Gen-X cynicism, sonic tube disasters and surreal guitar passages that chime like harps in a hailstorm. The work of Sonic Youth is all the more remarkable for being almost entirely self-produced and truly collaborative in origin. Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo all lend a hand in writing and singing, which sometimes produces the jarring effect of listening to three different bands on the same album. - Chad Driscoll]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.33696&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Experimental Fri, 25 Dec 2009 11:17:44 -0800 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.33696 art.33696 The Residents art.33696 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.33696&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.33696&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37913&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:56:09 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.37913 art.37913 The Lounge Lizards art.37913 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37913&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37913&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2439&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No Wave Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:24:10 -0800 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2439 art.2439 Glenn Branca art.2439 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2439&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2439&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No New York compilation, the Branca-fronted Theoretical Girls and The Static were an integral part of No Wave. Perhaps because of his association with rock music, Branca went on to become one of the most grossly underrated American composers of our time. Most famous for his deafening compositions for multiple electric guitars, Branca released his first attempt at the form, Lesson No. 1, in 1980. Though classic, it was a mere hint of what he'd soon accomplish: Symphony No. 5 is nothing short of a masterpiece of sweeping textures and dramatic power. The piece is performed on "mallet guitars," homemade instruments with strings designed to be struck with short sticks, resulting in a bell-like chime rich with overtones. Driven by an almost ever-present drumbeat, the music swells with massive, overwhelming waves of sound, full of frightening intensity as well as shimmering beauty. In addition to other, smaller works, Branca has completed ten symphonies, the ninth of which was composed for symphony orchestra. After witnessing a performance of his sixth symphony, John Cage reportedly described Branca's work as "the devil's music." - Doug Russell]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17050&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No Wave Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:52 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.17050 art.17050 Rhys Chatham art.17050 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17050&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17050&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Guitar Trio (1977) is a classic of electric guitar experimentalism, and would forever inspire comparisons to Glenn Branca. Combining the driving rhythms and sonic bombast of rock 'n' roll with a post-minimalist fixation on overtones and generative development, the piece earned Chatham admiration from both the rock and avant-garde worlds. The 1990s found Chatham (now living in France) shifting his musical attention towards Europe's hot Techstep and Drum 'n' Bass scenes. As he did with rock ten years earlier, he dove head into the new genre, forging new musical relationships that would last through the decade. - Doug Russell]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5947&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Industrial Dance Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:03:31 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5947 art.5947 D.A.F. art.5947 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5947&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5947&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36169&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No Wave Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:33:51 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.36169 art.36169 Erase Errata art.36169 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36169&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.36169&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7635001&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Punk Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:36:24 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7635001 art.7635001 Celebration art.7635001 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7635001&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7635001&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10007&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Experimental Sun, 20 Dec 2009 09:42:36 -0800 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10007 art.10007 Arto Lindsay art.10007 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10007&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10007&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42711&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No Wave Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:24:10 -0800 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.42711 art.42711 Teenage Jesus And The Jerks art.42711 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42711&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42711&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7541927&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss No Wave Thu, 8 Oct 2009 11:44:33 -0700 Top No Wave Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7541927 art.7541927 The Prids art.7541927 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7541927&variant=play&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7541927&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fpost-punk%2Fno-wave%2Fartist-chart.rss Duracraft (2000), Glide Screamer (2002) and Love Zero (2003) before the Five03 label issued 2006's …Until the World Is Beautiful.

Their first full length, 2005's Misc Radio Leakage, was binaually recorded and largely comprised of improvisational performance mixed and produced by the band. The follow-up sophomore release, Inner El Camino, was recorded at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone and SF Soundworks in San Francisco for release in early 2007. The record included rich instrumentation and a guest appearance on a variety of horns by former Tom Waits' and B-52s saxophonist Ralph Carney.
