Released in 1998, A Thousand Leaves is a sprawling, introspective album that reflects Sonic Youth’s embrace of more abstract and meandering compositions. With dreamy textures, extended guitar improvisations, and cryptic lyrics, the album feels like a meditative journey into the band's mature experimentalism, capturing their unique balance between noise rock, avant-garde, and alternative melodies.
