Sister is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released in June 1987 on SST Records. The album continued the band's move away from the no wave movement towards more traditional alternative rock song structures, while maintaining an experimental approach.
Like Sonic Youth's previous albums, Sister was not successful at the time of its release. In the years following its release, however, it has received critical acclaim, with several publications naming it as one of the best albums of the decade.
