Veteran rock institute Sonic Youth have been extra prolific as of late, from prepping vinyl reissues to a planned Daydream Nation documentary and a book/seven-inch set from Thurston Moore. Last week, Moore also revealed that he's working with Beck on a new solo LP, and now we have the full release info for Sonic Youth's long-rumoured French film soundtrack.
The film is called Simon Werner a Disparu (aka Lights Out) and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Sonic Youth have complemented the picture with an album-length soundtrack that features all-French song titles. Two snippets are available below courtesy of TwentyFourBit.
Sonic Youth's Simon Werner a Disparu will be available digitally on January 25 courtesy of the band's Sonic Youth Recordings and Midheaven, followed by a physical release sometime in February. A bonus EP with five extra tracks will come bundled with the DVD release of the film, due February 1.
