Thurston Moore Details New Album, ‘Flow Critical Lucidity’

He's also shared lead track 'Sans Limities', which features vocals from Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier

Thurston Moore is set to release his ninth solo album this September.

Titled Flow Critical Lucidity, the seven-track record was recorded at London’s Total Refreshment Centre. Moore is joined on the record by Deb Googe (bass), Jon Leidecker (electronics), James Sedwards (piano, organ, guitar and glockenspiel) and Jem Doulton (percussion).

Some of the songs on the album were written and arranged by Moore in Europe and the UK, and include lyrical references to their environments inspired by nature, lucid dreaming, modern dance and the late dancer Isadora Duncan.

Alongside news of Flow Critical Lucidity, Moore has shared a new track, ‘Sans Limites’, which features vocals from Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier. You can listen to the song below.

In a statement, Moore said: “‘Sans Limites’ begins with a cyclic guitar and piano figure which expands further and further with each revolution before settling into a two-chord measure introducing lyrics intoning not only about eradicating any limitations towards enlightenment, but going beyond limitations. The idea that a soldier can fight the good fight. A warrior against war.”

Daydream Library Series will release Flow Critical Lucidity on September 20, 2024.
