Listen to benleemusic's cover of thesonicyouth's SugarKane
-- quite literally in the case of the video for his new treatment of Sonic Youth'sThe clip, directed by old pal Jake Fogelnest, makes use of footage of Lee and Fogelnest shopping for music at New York's Other Music store, as well as contemporary scenes of the two in Lee's Laurel Canyon home and Lee performing the song with Julianna Barwick, who recorded it with him on the album. And if there's any doubt, Lee acknowledges the video is totally meant to tug some heartstrings.
"It's almost like a conversation about what it means to grow old and still be a fan of music and to love how it brings you together, still," Lee tells Billboard. "Fogelnest started putting it together and we realized that part of the beauty in the story he was doing was a narrative about our friendship -- almost like aquality. Music is that shared experience. We're now men in our forties, professionals in the entertainment business living in L.A.
Lee met Fogelnest during the early '90s when both were teenagers and the director interviewed Lee, a member of the band Noise Addict at the time, for his public access show"We spent our twenties together just running around New York, going to concerts and having adventures," Lee recalls. As for what's documented in the vintage footage, Lee laughs and says, "Omigosh, I'm so glad there's no sound on it.
Lee has already gotten a thumbs-up for the project from one important quarter -- Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. "We sent the video to Thurston and he loved it and he said 'Thank you for doing such a dignified cover of the song'," Lee says. "That interesting word -- that IS part of what I wanted to do with all of this.", which was published back in 2009 and released as an album during 2018.
