The bass guitar, though often playing minor key riffs, is almost funk-based, which was a common feature of post-punk and no wave music. James Jackson Toth of Stereogum stated that the album "sounds like the dark, post-punk cousin of Thurston's spunky new wave band the Coachmen." Drum-wise, the songs feature the more " downtown" roto-tom-addled stylings of Richard Edson, approaching the quasi- funk/ hip-hop rhythms of 99 Records bands like ESG and Liquid Liquid. Sonic Youth is the only Sonic Youth release in which the guitars predominantly use standard tuning. Sonic Youth differs stylistically from the band's later work in its greater incorporation of clean guitars, standard tuning, crisp production and a post-punk style. It is the only recording featuring the early Sonic Youth lineup with Richard Edson on drums. It was recorded between December 1981 and January 1982 and released in March 1982 by Glenn Branca's Neutral label. Sonic Youth is the debut EP by American rock band Sonic Youth.
