Thurston Joseph Moore (born July 25, 1958)[7] is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter best known as a member of the rock band Sonic Youth. He has also participated in many solo and group collaborations outside Sonic Youth, as well as running the Ecstatic Peace! record label. Moore was ranked 34th in Rolling Stone's 2004 edition of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".[8]

In 2012, Moore started a new band Chelsea Light Moving,[9] whose eponymous debut was released on March 5, 2013. In 2015, Chelsea Light Moving disbanded after one studio album release.[10] Moore and the other members of the band continue to make music under his solo project and other bands.
