    A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same way he improvises with images and words, we improvise with sounds and notes." Pitchfork praised the epic "Hits of Sunshine (for Allen Ginsberg)" as it's centerpiece while the Village Voice's Robert Christgau remained one of the band's strongest supporters, calling the album "the music of daydream nation old enough to treasure whatever time it finds on it's hands... They wander at will, dazzled by sunshine, greenery, hoarfrost and machines that go squish in the night," placing it at #3 in his year-end Pazz & Jop "Dean's List," and later naming it one of the 10 best records of the 1990s.
