Confusion Is Sex

Common card · No. 213933

Confusion Is Sex is the debut studio album by American noise rock band Sonic Youth. It was released in 1983 by Neutral Records. In contrast with the band's later excursions into more melodic noise rock, this album features a more lo-fi, avant-garde sound emblematic of the no wave genre that the band originally emerged from. Sonic Youth formed after the meeting of guitarist Thurston Moore and bassist Kim Gordon, who would eventually recruit guitarist Lee Ranaldo, who additionally plays bass on the album, which would be the only time this happened during the band's career. This album would be recorded after the release of their Eponymous debut EP the previous year. The album has been referred to as an important example of the no wave genre, but has been met with a polarized critical reception in the decades since it was first released.
