Phil Fisk recently captured these beautiful portraits of US indie-rock band Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore at his home in south London for Observer.
Moore is “now officially a grand old man of American indie rock – though as (his recently published autobiography), Sonic Life attests, his youthful enthusiasm for all things rock’n’roll remains relatively undimmed”.
We are loving the mood and tones of this series. Super lovely work 🙌
