Trees Outside the Academy (feat. Thurston Moore, J Mascis, Steve Shelley & Samara Lubelski)

Trees Outside the Academy is the fifth solo studio album by American musician Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. It was released on September 18, 2007, on Moore's own label, Ecstatic Peace! and recorded with Sonic Youth's drummer Steve Shelley and violinist Samara Lubelski. The recording took place at Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J. Mascis' home studio. Mascis also contributed lead guitar for some tracks. It features the track "Thurston @ 13" which is, "Some weird cassette tape that Thurston found at his mom's of him at 13 years old in the early '70s performing some kind of odd sound-theatre." The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, barely missing the Billboard 200.
