Galaxie 500 have announced details of Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90, a new double LP compilation released by Silver Current on September 20.

The set – curated by Dean Wareham, Noami Yang and Damon Krukowski – will feature outtakes, B-sides and assorted standalone recordings including their deathless cover of The Rutles‘ “Cheese And Onions”.

“Opening up these tape boxes was like looking into an old journal or datebook — 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,” says Krukowski. “There are songs from all the Galaxie 500 recording sessions included here.”

“There is a sweetness in hearing the progression of us finding our own sound, our own collective voice. The Proustian power of music,” adds Yang. “Listening to these early recordings I can hear myself figuring out how I wanted to play bass –- 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.”
