Rare Earth recently sat down with bassist Naomi Yang of the iconic band Galaxie 500 to discuss the group’s first release of new archival material in nearly 30 years: Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90. Tune your dials to KALX on Monday, September 23rd at 1pm to hear their conversation.
Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90 is Galaxie 500’s most comprehensive collection of unreleased and rare archival material ever. Its 24 tracks make up the complete Noise New York studio recordings of the band’s outtakes and non-album tracks. Compiled by the band it traces their career from among their earliest recorded moments in the studio to their last.
This release isn’t just an ‘odds and sods’ collection; it is a secret history of the band told in music. The restoration and inclusion of no less than eight never-before-heard studio tracks culled from sessions throughout Galaxie 500’s career, chronologically sequenced along with previously released but rare and long out of print studio material, tells an untold story of the band in full as they move steadily across the arc of their growth and creative expansion. It reveals not so much an alternate history of the band, as a different perspective of their actual history viewed from the other side of the mirror from beginning to end.
Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90 releases September 20th, 2024 on 2xLP, 2xCD and 2xTape on Silver Current Records and digitally on 20/20/20.com.
