On April 24, 1987, Sonic Youth played a second consecutive night a Maxwell's! On the 24th, Dinosaur opened - this is before they added the "Jr.!" The group essentially played an identical set from the previous night, containing exclusively song from their upcoming fourth LP, "Sister," which was released in June 1987.  Sister was partly inspired by the life and works of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick (the "sister" of the title was Dick's fraternal twin, who died shortly after her birth, and whose memory haunted Dick his entire life). Sister was also the first Sonic Youth album to crack the Top 20 of the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics poll.
