Biography

Thurston Joseph Moore was born on 25 Julyâ¯â¯1958 in Coralâ¯Gables, Florida, and grew up in Bethel, Connecticut, where he first heard "Louieâ¯Louie" at age five and bought his first electric guitar. After a brief stint at Western Connecticut State University, he moved to Newâ¯York City in 1976, immersing himself in the postâpunk and noâwave scenes and meeting future Sonicâ¯Youth bandmate Leeâ¯Ranaldo. Together they formed Sonicâ¯Youth in 1981, and the duoâs debut album Sonic Youth (1982) was released through Homestead and later SST, establishing a reputation for experimental tunings and avantârock sensibilities. Thurston Mooreâs solo catalog followed, beginning with Psychic Hearts (1995) and including Trees Outside the Academy (2007), The Best Day (2014), and Flow Critical Lucidity (2024). He collaborated with Yoko Ono on Yokokimthurston (2012), performed with John Zorn on @ (2013), and contributed to the soundtrack of Backbeat (1994). In 2004, Rollingâ¯Stone ranked him 34th among the top guitarists, and he continues to release music through his Ecstatic Peace! label. In 2026, he collaborated with Stephen Michael Bonner aka Kramer on They Came Like Swallows: Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza.
