SYR 4: Goodbye 20th Century

EP by Sonic Youth

SYR4: Goodbye 20th Century is an EP by American rock band Sonic Youth, released in 1999. The release presents reinterpretations of twentieth-century modernist compositions through dissonant textures, extended guitar techniques, noise elements and free improvisation, and it occupies a deliberately experimental outpost in the band's catalogue as part of the SYR series that foregrounds their avant-garde interests.
