On August 30, 2008, Sonic Youth premiered two new songs at the final McCarren Park Pool show. Thurston Moore stated that in November 2008 Sonic Youth will start recording a new studio album. The band did not continue their contract with Geffen, being discontented at the way Geffen handled their last four or five albums. On September 8, 2008, it was confirmed by Matador's Matablog that Sonic Youth would release its sixteenth album (titled The Eternal) in spring, 2009, on Matador Records. In December 2008 it was also announced that Sonic Youth had recently collaborated with John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin fame) on a piece that served as the soundtrack for a new Merce Cunningham Dance Company piece. This work was performed by the company on April 16–19, 2009, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in celebration of Cunningham's 90th birthday. On February 12, Sonic Youth revealed the cover art for The Eternal via their website and blog. The album, produced by John Agnello, was released on June 9, 2009.
