Kim Gordon to get your Tuesday morning rolling on no uncertain terms. Recorded at this years Glastonbury Festival (June 30) by the venerable BBC 6 Music.
Since this Glastonbury appearance coincides with the release of The Collective (which came out earlier this year) – I thought I would put up the blurb from her website to fill you in (if you aren’t familiar) or just skip and head straight to the music if you are:
“Musician and visual artist Kim Gordon has released “Bangin’ on the Freeway”, a bonus track from the digital deluxe version of her second solo album The Collective, which is out now on Matador.
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. 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.
A video for “Psychedelic Orgasm”, directed by Kim Gordon and musician/filmmaker/producer Vice Cooler is out now. With its quick cuts and upside down tableaus of desiccated pumpkins, giant inflatables and shopping mall escalators, the Los Angeles-set clip is as disorienting as “Psychedelic Orgasm” itself.
Gordon will play six live shows around The Collective’s arrival, beginning March 21st in Burlington, Vermont.”
If you haven’t grabbed The Collective yet, no time like the present to avail yourself – so head over to her site and grab a copy.
In the meantime – here’s Tuesday.
