Thurston Moore returns today to celebrate Earth Day with “Rewilding”, an ode to the UK's land renewal and restoration programme.
With a hypnotic percussive beat at the center of the song, Moore enters a nature-induced dream state. “This terrain is changing/Rebuilding, reorganizing/So I'm singing for the animals/Out here just grazing,” Moore murmurs at the beginning of the song, with My Bloody Valentine bassist Deb Googe laying down a thick, bassline. repetitive beneath it.
“Don't you dare wake me up/ A butterfly just kissed me,” he sings. Although there are traces of menace and doubt in the song's trance-like psychedelic aura, the ambient renewal Moore describes lends itself to a blossoming peace. He stream “Rewilding” below.
“Rewilding” isn't just a Thurston Moore x Earth Day special, it's the latest offering from their upcoming album. Samurai Walkman: critical lucidity of flow. He previously shared cuts from the album “Hypnogram” and “Isadora” which arrived with a music video starring Sky Ferreira. Moore has not revealed the release day of Samurai Walkman: critical lucidity of flow yet, but a statement promises that more details about the album will be coming soon.
In addition to working on her new album, Moore released sonic life, his memoirs, last year. He was set to embark on a book tour, but he had to cancel due to a “debilitating” health condition stemming from a heart rhythm abnormality. However, he provided an update in October, stating that “the prognosis is very good” and he was awaiting treatment. He appeared in high spirits at Tennessee's Big Ears festival in March, so it looks like Moore is ready to get back on the road.
