Thurston Moore (US)

 

This artist needs no introduction, but just for the sake of formality, here it goes: Thurston Moore is a co-founder and backbone of the New York noise rock icon Sonic Youth, an excellent and original guitarist, a legendary songwriter, an experimental music and film score composer, and an independent writer and publisher. Fans and critics were enthralled by his 2011 collection of beautiful acoustic ballads, Demolished Thoughts, produced by Beck. We find all of Thurston’s incarnations – noisy or melancholy and soft – equally convincing, which is why we’re very happy to welcome him to his first performance at the OFF Festival.
