Sonic Youth is now debuting its upcoming album on iLike, according to details shared with Digital Music News early Tuesday morning. The release, The Eternal, is now available for preview on iLike, ahead of an official June 9th release from Matador Records.
Additionally, iLike is helping to stoke excitement around the release by hosting "The Sonic Youth Trickster Challenge," a game that asks fans to create quizzes for others to play. The authors of the most-played quizzes will receive special access to the band alongside other goodies.
The action will mostly happen through Facebook, though iLike also has a footprint on networks like iGoogle, Bebo and Orkut. "Releasing this album with our friends at Matador feels like liberation which inspired us during the recording process," said Thurston Moore. "Debuting it on iLike, free from industry constraints, also fit this theme."
