THURSTON MOORE

LP x 2

By The Fire

ORANGE VINYL

LIMITED EDITION

NEW SEALED – IN STOCK

Gatefold sleeve

This is Thurston Moore’s seventh solo album, and

features musicians Deb Googe (My Bloody

Valentine) on bass and backing vocals, Jon

Leidecker aka ‘Wobbly’ (of Negativland) on

electronics, James Sedwards on guitar, and Sonic

Youth’s Steve Shelley, as well as Jem Doulton,

alternating on drums.   ‘Hashish’ is the first single

from the album to be released and is described by

Moore as “an ode to the narcotic of love in our

shared responsibility to each other during

isolation." The song includes a video with footage

from The Thurston Moore Group’s tour in early 2020

in Europe, as well as footage of Thurston

quarantined in his home during the past few months

“with respect to the sacred healing truth of nature.”

Prior to isolation during the COVID pandemic,

Thurston worked in recording studios in North

London until the third week of March 2020 to

complete this album for release on September 5,

2020. While the musicians may not immediately tour,

Thurston was adamant to release BY THE FIRE in

2020, and with Daydream Library, has released this

quote: ​BY THE FIRE is music in flames. 2020 is our

time for radical change and collective awareness

and Thurston Moore has written nine songs of

enlightenment, released to a world on fire. Taking a

cue from Albert Ayler's "music is the healing force

of the universe", this recording offers songs as

flames of rainbow energy, where the power of love

becomes our call. These are love songs in a time

where creativity is our dignity, our demonstration

against the forces of oppression. BY THE FIRE is a

gathering, a party of peace—songs in the heat of the

moment. Some of the songs feature all of the

musicians whist a few are solo guitar and vocals.
