Sonic Youth Signs With Matador

After a two-decade stint with Universal Music Group, Sonic Youth has returned to the indie ranks and signed a new deal with Matador Records. The veteran rock act's label debut is due next year.

The one-album deal is worldwide except for Japan. "They have a tremendous amount to do with why I'm actually involved in this stuff," says Matador co-founder Gerard Cosloy, who previously worked with the band in the 1980s at Homestead Records. "The number of bands on Matador who they've made an indelible impact on, both musically and personally, is a pretty long list."
