Original Silence (US/NO/SE/IT...)

Not only will Thurston Moore be playing the Øya Festival with his legendary Sonic Youth, he’ll also bring along some other friends of his and conjure up more magical stuff!
Original Silence will be out with the album ’The Second Original Silence’ – recorded in Rome last fall and released on Smalltown Superjazz – on August 11, and it will probably be just as great as we imagine. Just look what Pitchfork Media wrote:
“Picture Ornette Coleman sitting in with the Stooges (the old Stooges, that is) as they tear through ‘L.A. Blues’, and you’d be in the neighborhood of free jazz/noise rock/construction noise hybrid Original Silence.” (8,0 Pitchfork)
The Original Silence line-up consists of dream team Mats Gustafsson (saxophone, electronics), Massimo Pupillo (bass), Terrie Ex (guitar), Thurston Moore (guitar), Jim O’Rourke (electronics), and Paal Nilssen-Love (percussion).
