Washing Machine is the ninth album by the band Sonic Youth. It was released shortly after the group concluded their stint headlining the 1995 Lollapalooza music festival. "Washing Machine" peaked at #39 on the UK Album Chart.
Music
The track "Little Trouble Girl" features vocals by Kim Gordon and Breeders/Pixies member Kim Deal along with Lorette Velvette and Melissa Dunn. During the song, Gordon makes reference to the song "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" by The Shangri-Las, borrowing the words and inflection "very, very close" from the song. The video for that track was directed by noted music video and feature film director Mark Romanek. It's in a gently-paced artistic sci-fi style, with Gordon and Deal and a strange small alien creature with long fingers.
"Untitled" was originally part of the song "Becuz" but Geffen Records felt they needed to cut the eight minute long track to make the album’s opening more accessible. "The Diamond Sea" runs approximately six minutes longer on the vinyl LP version of the album. The extra time is in the noisy coda near the end of the song. The 25-minute version was also made available on the CD single for "The Diamond Sea" and, in 2006, on the compilation The Destroyed Room: B-Sides and Rarities.
Nearly every chord in the song "Panty Lies" is diminished. Despite this, it was still an encore choice for much of the Lollapalooza festival in 1995.
It is noted that Gordon played guitar on 8 or 9 of the 11 tracks, leaving the tracks with no bass.
