Lee Ranaldo - Between The Times & The Tides

Coming March 20, Lee Ranaldo’s ‘Between The Times & The Tides’

“Songs can go a million different ways,” declares Lee Ranaldo in the liner notes for his forthcoming Matador solo album, ‘Between The Times & The Tides’, and let me be the first to accuse the Sonic Youth guitarist / not-often-enough vocalist of severe hyperbole. The kinetic, crafted results on ‘Between…’ are more in the several thousand territory, but it’s most certainly a record that will amaze even the most ardent followers of Ranaldo’s work. Joined by an all-star cast including Nels Cline, Alan Licht, John Medeski, bassist Irwin Menkin and longtime associate Steve Shelley (and featuring cameos from old friends Jim O’Rourke and Bob Bert), the album is equal parts smart, confident and loose in a manner that recalls some of our favorite rock’n'roll projects…yet sounds like a fantastic new band that was apparently being assembled right under our noses.

Fresh off a Bell House date last month supporting Wild Flag, Lee and a lineup featuring Alan Licht, Irwin Menkin and Steve Shelley will be playing Glasslands, Friday December 16. 2012 tour dates will announced when we have ‘em, and look forward to preorder info from the Matador Store and other outlets shortly as well.

yowzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Cover art pretty please!!?

"One of the photographers took some shots of me, in the studio, walking on the street and so on. I really liked the quality of one of the pictures and I thought, ‘this would make a really good album cover.’"

Makes me wonder if that pic is the album cover.

Oh awesome, Lee Ranaldo is starting a band with that dude from the crossing lights.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the world's going to end on March 18th 2012.

If this is going to be the album's cover, hat off to LR and whoever took the picture. It reminds me of this:

that is one of my favourite records ever, and they improved on the formula.

Is that the dude who plays the beeping sounds, or is it the big red hand?

so excited for this record and (hopefully) tour

What a great photo that (black and white) is. Classic.

I can't wait.

Judging by the photo it's the one with the sounds. I hear the big red hand has taken off with Thurston as a rebound thing after green hand, who according to rumors is really hurt and angry right now. It's a mess really.
