SONIC YOUTH - SISTER

Sister is a loose concept album (like its follow-up Daydream Nation), inspired in part by the life and works of American science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. Working titles for the album included Kitty Magic, Humpy Pumpy, and Sol-Fuc, but it was ultimately named Sister as a reference to Dick's fraternal twin, who died shortly after her birth and whose memory haunted Dick his entire life. "Sister" was also the original title of opening track "Schizophrenia", and Thurston Moore often introduced it as "Sister" in concert.
