The classic 1987 album Sister, reissued on the band’s Goofin' label, is one of Sonic Youth’s finest works. Featuring a cover of Crime’s "Hot Wire My Heart," it showcases the band revitalizing ’80s guitar rock with a warm, rich sound thanks to all vacuum-tube recording gear. The album blends evocative, challenging songs with moments flirting with traditional rock, all immersed in their signature sonic textures—Schizophrenia alone is a standout proof of their brilliance.
