Multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordons first solo album, No Home Record is being released worldwide October 11th on Matador Records. Among its nine tracks, No Home Record features the new single Sketch Artist accompanied by a video directed by Berlin-based experimental artist Loretta Fahrenholz and includes a cameo from actress and writer Abbi Jacobson. Fahrenholz notes, Sketch Artist is a haunted car ride. Kim drives as Unter Pool summons passengers throughout nighttime LA. The city drifts by, passengers intermingle in the back seat and Kims deadly stare shocks pedestrians along her route. It makes sense that this American idea (as Gordon says on the agitated rock track Air BnB) of purchasing utopia permeates the record, as no place is this phenomenon more apparent than Los Angeles, where Gordon was born and recently returned to after several lifetimes on the east coast. It was a move precipitated by a number of seismic shifts in her personal life and undoubtedly plays a role in No Home Records fascination with transience.The album opens with the restless Sketch Artist, where Gordon sings about dreaming in a tent as the music shutters and skips like scenery through a car window.Songs discover themselves as they unspool, each one performing a test of the mediums possibilities and limits. Her command is astonishing, but Gordons artistic curiosity remains the guiding force behind her music.Even Earthquake, perhaps the records most straightforward track embodies this mood; Gordons voice wavering like watercolor: If I could cry and shake for you / Id lay awake for you / I got sand in my heart for you, guitar strokes blending into one another as they bleed out across an unstable page. Front to back, No Home Record is an expert operation in the uncanny. You dont simply listen to Gordons music; you experience it.No Home Record was produced largely by Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Ariel Pink, Sky Ferreira) at Sphere Ranch in Los Angeles, along with contributions from Shawn Everett (Jim James, The War on Drugs) and composer/filmmaker Jake Meginsky (Lappel Du Vide, Milford Graves Full Mantis). Gordons solo debut albums title is a nod to the French-Belgian director Chantal Akermans film No Home Movie.The godmother of grunge. - T: The New York Times Style Magazine""Sketch Artist"" reinforces Kim Gordon as a malleable artist who, nonetheless, sounds only like Kim Gordon. NPROn Sketch Artist, Gordon never fights the noise that engulfs her anodyne monotoneinstead, she accepts the disquiet. PitchforkArtist And Album Information: Why a solo record? And why now?, Gordon mused of the upcoming solo debut. I dont know, but it wouldnt have happened without the persistence of 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.Since co-founding Sonic Youth in 1981, Kim Gordon has remained at the nexus of music, fashion, art and (more recently) books and film. In the past few years alone, Gordon has debuted in the #1 spot on the NY Times Bestseller List with her 2015 memoir Girl In A Band, acted alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Jonah Hill under the direction of Gus Van Sant (in 2018s Dont Worry, He Wont Get Far On Foot), released music and performed as one half of Body/Head alongside Bill Nace, and opened multiple soloexhibitions at internationally renowned museums.
