Galaxie 500 have announced details of Uncollected Noise New York โ88-โ90, a new double LP compilation released by Silver Current on September 20.
The set โ curated by Dean Wareham, Noami Yang and Damon Krukowski โ will feature outtakes, B-sides and assorted standalone recordings including their deathless cover of The Rutlesโ โCheese And Onionsโ.

โOpening up these tape boxes was like looking into an old journal or datebook โ I had forgotten most of this happened at all, but it only took a few quick details to put me right back in the drum seat,โ says Krukowski. โThere are songs from all the Galaxie 500 recording sessions included here.โ
โThere is a sweetness in hearing the progression of us finding our own sound, our own collective voice. The Proustian power of music,โ adds Yang. โListening to these early recordings I can hear myself figuring out how I wanted to play bass โ- finding my way up the neck to where the notes would cut through, where there could be a counter-melody to the singing. Making the bass my singing voice.โ
