Beschreibung
Musician / visual artist , founding member of Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon will appear in Berlin to support her second solo LP The Collective, brilliantly current in its grinding approximation of capitalist horrors, ransacking of social media bleakness, and playful evisceration of toxic masculinity.
Recorded in Gordon’s native Los Angeles, The Collective follows her 2019 full-length debut No Home Record and continues her collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor), with additional production from Anthony Paul Lopez. Released by Matador, the album advances their joint world building, with Raisin’s damaged, blown out dub and trap constructions playing the foil to Gordon’s intuitive word collages and hooky mantras, which conjure communication, commercial sublimation and sensory overload.
Breaking barriers in male dominated cultural worlds, with her very embodiment of coolness, and with her fearless and rigorous experimentalism, Gordon, for decades, has been and continues to be an inspiration. »What Gordon has proved in this past decade is that her art, her life, her cool...has never been contingent upon anyone else. With time, and through continued art-making, she has righted her own ship and pointed it once again in the direction of thrillingly uncharted waters.« – New York Times
The first track »Bye Bye« opens with a semi-cryptic list including milk thistle, dog sitter, hoodie, toothpaste, foundation… Gordon is leaving, but where to? Murky and brooding, sitting on a trap beat with Gordon vocalising in spoken word style over fuzzy guitar riffs, the track sets the tone for a gloriously stylish and boundary-pushing album, an expert blend of old and new
An opening act will be announced soon.
