Goo is the sixth studio album by the American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on June 26, 1990 on DGC Records. The album was Sonic Youth's debutrelease on a major record label, after the band signed to Geffen Records following the release of Daydream Nation (1988).
Goo was recorded over a short period in early1990 at Sorcerer Sound Recording Studios and Greene St. Recording with Daydream Nation producer Nick Sansano and additional producer Ron Saint Germain. Thealbum's sound diverged considerably from their earlier material and is often considered "their most accessible album"[1] and resulted in the release of the lead single,"Kool Thing". Two other singles—"Disappearer" and "Dirty Boots"—were also released from the album, although neither were as successful as "Kool Thing," whichcharted in the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland.
Upon its release, Goo was a moderate commercial success, peaking at number 96 on the Billboard 200 in theUnited States and charting in the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Critical reception to the album was positive. To support its release, Sonic Youthtoured Europe and North America twice in 1990.[2] Following the mainstream success of alternative rock and grunge, the band toured Europe again in fall 1991 withNirvana, Dinosaur Jr, Babes in Toyland and Gumball.[3] The latter tour was chronicled on the documentary 1991: The Year Punk Broke, directed by Dave Markey.[4] Atwo-disc/four-LP deluxe edition of the album was released in 2005 with outtakes, demos and live tracks.
Pitchfork Media listed Goo as 82nd best album of the 1990s.
