Indie/alt rock trailblazers **Sonic Youth** will release a new mini-album of rarities
called _In/Out/In_ on March 11th.

The mini-album assembles five previously-unreleased tracks recorded between 2000
and 2010.

The songs on the new EP were recorded in a number of locations across the country
in the early 2000s.

“Basement Contender” and “Machine” were recorded in the Sonic Youth rehearsal room
in Northampton, Massachusetts (homebase since forever). During the scrappy, long
sessions also emerges “The Eternal.”

The track “In & Out” was recorded in Pomona, California while “Out & In” was recorded
in Echo Canyon, New Jersey with Jim O’Rourke , who also performed on “Social Static”.

A passage by the band on their [Bandcamp page](https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/in-out-in-2)
addresses the amount of ‘rarities’ they still have to go through: “…it’s a massive
mountain to chip away at in the sense of the group output alone; individual members’
projects are a whole other game, needless to say. ‘In/Out/In’ ably delivers a new
slab of mostly-unheard Sonic righteousness, with a scope on the post 2000-era band
in especially zoned/exploratory regions.”
