Sonic Youth close out their holy trinity with Sister, the tectonic wipe-out of EVOL elevated to its terminal iteration. Sister presents a perfectly synthesized aesthetic of pop, rock, noise, art and poetics, setting up a final decade of aspirant avant-rock before the inexorable creative collapse of almost all popular music. After this Sonic Youth released the somewhat disappointing Daydream Nation, a rock double album, then sidestepped into the major label shadows.
