Artist News Releases
Kim Gordon announces debut solo album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 21 August 2019
Former Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon has announced that she will release her first solo album, ‘No Home Record’, later this year – the title being a reference to director Chantal Akerman’s 2015 film ‘No Home Movie’.
Gordon has worked on a number of projects outside Sonic Youth of course, such as Body/Head and Free Kitten, but always with other collaborators. Nearly 40 years into her career, she is only now going solo for the first time.
“‘Why a solo record? And why now?”, she says. “I don’t know, but it wouldn’t have happened without the persistence of [‘No Home Record’ producer] Justin Raisen. Living in LA the last few years it feels like home, but the transience of the place makes it feel sometimes like no home”.
The album is out on 11 Oct and you can listen to first single ‘Sketch Artist’ here:
