"Theresa's Sound World" is on Dirty, Sonic Youth's seventh studio album and their second double album, put out by DGC in 1992. The band cut the record with Butch Vig at the Magic Shop early that year, co-producing and recording alongside him, with Edward Douglas engineering and Andy Wallace handling the mix, and the writing credit is shared by Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley.
Dirty came on the heels of Goo, just as alternative rock was surging after breakthroughs like Nirvana's Nevermind, and the album's sound took its cue from grunge's rise, though Billboard filed it under experimental rock. The singles were "100%", "Youth Against Fascism", "Sugar Kane" and "Drunken Butterfly", which left this one to be found by the people who played the whole record.
