Ratings Guide

A member of the critically acclaimed art/punk rock band Sonic Youth, Moore has been involved in numerous side projects including the Dim Stars and Even Worse. His first solo album, Psychic Hearts (recorded during and immediately after his wife and Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon's pregnancy in 1994), with exHalf Japanese guitarist Tim Foljahn and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, has an appropriately offhand feel but is far from sloppy. The album is saved from rock star indulgence by its wellwritten songs and unpretentious attitude.
