Kim Gordon's return to New York immersed her in the city's no-wave and punk scenes, directly shaping Sonic Youth's early experimental sound.
It became an underground hit and, crucially, drew the eyes of major labels. After releasing an EP on Stiff Records in 1976, Television signed with Elektra and began work on their debut album, 1977's influential Marquee Moon. The record became a foundational release in post-1970 alt-rock, heavily influencing the post-punk and new wave scenes that flourished in the US in the 1980s and becoming a touchstone album for generations to follow.
