Sister (Sonic Youth album)
1987 studio album by Sonic Youth
Summary
Sister is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on SST Records on June 1, 1987. The album represented a continuation of the band's evolution on their previous album EVOL, moving away from the no wave movement towards alternative rock song structures while maintaining an experimental approach. It was their first album with the lineup from the previous album intact, with Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley all returning.
