Bad Moon Rising (album)
''Bad Moon Rising'' is the second studio album by American alternative rock〔/noise rock〔 band Sonic Youth. It was released on vinyl in March 1985 by record label Homestead. The album was loosely themed around the dark side of America, and included references to obsession and insanity, Charles Manson, heavy metal, Satanism, and early European settlers' encounters with Native Americans. Each side of the original vinyl was a mostly continuous cycle of songs, except for the album's closer, "Death Valley '69".
Released to strong reviews from the underground music press, ''Bad Moon Rising'' was the first Sonic Youth album to combine the band's experimental material with transitional pieces and segues. The album was preceded by the single "Death Valley '69", which did not chart in either the US or UK (the track was re-recorded for the album and released again as a single in June 1985).
== History ==
Sonic Youth was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo and bass guitarist Kim Gordon. The band signed to Glenn Branca's Neutral Records, releasing the ''Sonic Youth'' EP in March 1982. As Sonic Youth released a number of albums and EPs to increasing critical acclaim, including ''Confusion Is Sex'' and ''Kill Yr. Idols'' in 1983, several drummers joined and left the band. Bob Bert rejoined Sonic Youth after the ''Confusion Is Sex'' tour in mid-1983. The New York press largely ignored Sonic Youth (as well as the noise rock scene in the city), until after a disastrous London debut in October 1983 that actually received rave reviews in British papers ''Sounds'' and ''NME''.〔 When they returned to New York, the queue at CBGB for the band's concerts went around the block.
By mid-1984, Sonic Youth were playing almost weekly in the city, but its members started to realize that there was little future in their musical approach; Moore later said, "it was getting to the point of overkill".〔 They retreated to the rehearsal room, retuned their guitars and changed their equipment so that they were unable to play their old songs, and began writing new material.〔
