Sonic Youth: Chez Yves (Alice et Clara)

Sonic Youth has always been an unconventional band. In 1996, Sonic Youth started their own imprint in order to release albums that would be too experimental for other labels. Last Spring, they scored a film by French director Fabrice Gobert and decided to expand the short clips used in the movie to create Simon Werner a Disparu, an album's worth of music. Today's Top Tune is in true Sonic Youth form, a journey that runs an emotional and sometimes challenging landscape. It's "Chez Yves."
