Goo

Goo is the sixth full-length studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on June 26, 1990, by DGC Records. The album was the band's major label debut, originally signing with Geffen Records before they were given to DGC, a smaller subsidiary of the label. Coming off the success of Daydream Nation, Nick Sansano returned to engineer Goo, but veteran producer Ron Saint Germain was chosen by Sonic Youth to finish mixing the album following Sansano's dismissal. Featuring feminist and pop culture-concerned lyrics, the band sought to expand upon its trademark alternating guitar arrangements and the layered sound of their previous album Daydream Nation, with bassist Kim Gordon's role as a vocalist and songwriter expanding in relation to previous albums. Goo was a critical and commercial success upon its release, peaking at number 96 on the US Billboard 200, their highest chart position to date. Although it lacked significant radio airplay, its lead single "Kool Thing", a collaborative effort with Public Enemy's Chuck D, reached number seven on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
