Former Sonic Youth icon KIM GORDON (aged 72) launched her 2nd solo album, titled
The Collective last year in March. Another noise-distorted exploration of industrial sounds. A worthy follow-up to her startling 2019 debut No Home Record.
And Gordon isn’t running out of effervescent sonic ideas. She already bagged
her 3rd full-length, titled PLAY ME. It’ll land on March 13th. More info here.
Press info: “Kim Gordon‘s vision of art and noise has come sharper into focus just
as readily as it has changed—a paradigm of possibility that, four decades on, still
feels like a dare. Play Me is distilled and immediate, expanding Gordon’s sonic
palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock.”
Along with the news comes the first single NOT TODAY.
KG: “I started singing in a way I hadn’t sung in a long time. This other voice came out.”
TUTV: Make some room, just like Gordon does (below in the clip) and make room for some swaying movements. It’s another musical affair this time. More straightforward, more rock, more zip. Whatever Kim says I’m gonna play her today. You should too.
