Pitchfork wrote: “After 38 years of making music, Kim Gordon’s thrilling solo debut lives
at the vanguard of sound and performance, shot through with the beautiful, unsparing noise that has always defined her art… No Home Record—which, incredibly, is Gordon’s first solo album in 38 years of making music—offers evidence of her reinvention: Even longtime fans
may find themselves thunderstruck by some of the turns she takes here. But the record also confirms the essence of her creative identity; it’s shot through with sounds and concepts that have defined her work over the years, just presented in a way we’ve never heard them before.”

KIM GORDON Unveils Another Stunning Cut From Upcoming Solo LP – Here’s ‘AIR BnB’…

New sonic impulses

11 September 2019

Co-founder and former Sonic Youth queen KIM GORDON already announced her first solo album, titled ‘NO HOME RECORD’ a few weeks ago and dropped the surprisingly experimental lead single ‘SKETCH ARTIST’. And now here’s an equally astounding fresh cut called ‘AIR BnB‘.  A strong-willed jackhammer with a gloomy fever and  vehement drift. Seems like Gordon is on her way to make a most riveting impact with her new LP.

Here’s the odd accompanying low budget video in which Kim Gordon explains how the clip would have looked like if she had more money to make it….
