As far as we're concerned, we're always Sonic Youth, and we're always making a Sonic Youth record. We just see it so much more as a continuum than a periodic thing. We're just in the studio making the next record, and we don't relate it to anything other than what's going on at the moment.

It's not like we set out to antagonize the audience in any way. We're just presenting our music; it's really much more innocent.

We find that the more you talk about it, the more you head off any spontaneous inspiration that might happen.
