A Thousand Leaves
Encyclopedia : A : AT : ATH : A Thousand Leaves
A Thousand Leaves is an album by Sonic Youth. It was the group's first major album to be recorded in their private Manhattan studio, dubbed Echo Canyon.
Sonic Youth perfected their "'60s" sound with this album by including long, dreamy, and mellow jam tracks.
On the CD label the phrase "mille feuille" is crossed out and "a thousand leaves" is written under it. Mille-feuille is a French phrase that means "thousand leaves" and is a type of pastry.
"A Thousand Leaves" peaked at #38 on the UK Album Chart, in May 1998.
