Lee Ranaldo’s mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a rare mix lovingly compiled by the great guitarist and songwriter Lee Ranaldo, who guides us through a 30-minute collage of his favourite music.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents a rare mix from the great Lee Ranaldo, who guides listeners through a lovingly compiled 30-minute collage of his favourite music and sounds. Expect free jazz, cut-up poetry, and wild vocal improvisations.

Following a stint in the electric guitar orchestra of Glenn Branca, Lee Ranaldo formed the experimental rock group Sonic Youth in 1981, alongside Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. Thirty years later the founding trio decided to finally disband, having created multiple classic albums and influenced generations of musicians, composers, and creatives.

Since then, Lee Ranaldo has continued to release solo records, to produce for others, and to collaborate with a diverse bunch of interesting musicians. He also has an acclaimed visual art, sound art, and poetry practice. First and foremost though, Ranaldo will always be considered as one of the best guitarists of all time.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
