Flow Critical Lucidity
2024 studio album by Thurston Moore
Flow Critical Lucidity is the 16th solo studio album by American musician Thurston Moore. It was released on September 20, 2024 via Moore's independent label The Daydream Library Series and was self-produced with Eva Marie Moore.
Five attached singles preceded the album, which was Moore's first following the publication of his book Sonic Life: A Memoir. It was subject to critical acclaim upon release and peaked on the UK Independent Albums Chart at no. 12.
Background and singles
On February 17, 2023, Moore released a single entitled "Hypnogram" alongside the announcement of a new album. The following month, Moore released another song, "Isadora", on Bandcamp with an accompanying music video starring Sky Ferreira, directed by Radieux Radio. Radio is an alias for Thurston Moore's wife Eva Marie Moore who has often written lyrics for him as early as The Best Day (2014). Although the song was marketed as a track from the forthcoming album, it was ultimately left off the standard track listing.
In October, Moore's book Sonic Life: A Memoir was published.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2024 studio album by Thurston Moore” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q134984785. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2023 and 2014.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
