Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
''Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star'' is the eighth studio album by the American experimental rock band Sonic Youth, released on May 3, 1994 by DGC Records. It was produced by Butch Vig and recorded at Sear Sound studio in New York City, the same studio where the band's 1987 album ''Sister'' was recorded. Unlike its predecessor ''Dirty'', ''Experimental Jet Set'' features a more low-key approach and references the band's earlier work on the independent record label SST Records. The album contains quieter and more relaxed songs that deal with personal and political topics.
Upon release, ''Experimental Jet Set'' reached No. 34 on the US ''Billboard'' Top 200 chart and No. 39 on the UK Albums Chart. It was the band's highest peak on the US charts until their 2009 album ''The Eternal'' reached No. 18. The song "Bull in the Heather" was released as a single and as a music video featuring Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who highlighted the band's ability to create both noise and melody. However, some felt that the album's anti-commercial style was difficult to appreciate.
==Background and recording==
''Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star'' is the follow-up to Sonic Youth's 1992 album ''Dirty'', which was released by DGC in the wake of Nirvana's breakthrough into the mainstream.〔 ''Dirty'' became one of the band's most commercially successful albums, selling around 500,000 copies worldwide as of May 1994.〔 The album also reached No. 83 on the US ''Billboard'' Top 200 chart and No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart.〔〔 After ''Dirty'', Sonic Youth decided to step away from major-label alternative rock acts, which singer and guitarist Thurston Moore thought the media associated the band with.〔 Touring with indie rock bands like Pavement, Sebadoh, and Royal Trux inspired Sonic Youth to write a quieter and more subtle album.〔
Like its predecessor, ''Experimental Jet Set'' was produced by the band and alternative rock veteran Butch Vig. According to the band, "The idea this time was to cut as much of it live as we could, and not labor over polishing and overdubbing in the usual big-rock manner."〔 Similarly, guitarist Lee Ranaldo explained that the band wanted to achieve a more lo-fi approach: "None of (Jet set''s ) music was labored, some of it was done in people's bedrooms, even. (We wanted ) to write the songs and record them simply and basically."〔 Additionally, the band ordered Vig to refrain from his desire to apply a buzz remover to several tracks.〔 The album was engineered by John Siket and recorded at Sear Sound studio in New York City, the same studio where the band's 1987 album ''Sister'' was recorded.〔 The band claimed that the album was recorded over the master tapes of ''Sister'' to save costs,〔 and it is possible to hear some parts of ''Sister'' during quiet sections of the final recording.〔 The album was recorded on a two-inch 16-track analog tape recorder through antiquated equipment.〔
