Smiley McGrouchpants Jr. Esq. III This is *AWFULLY* fuckin' good—and, admittedly, I just bought it because she was on Jimmy KIMMEL, and it went *over* well, and there was this feeling of "SOLIDARITY," and *all*—

I mean, let's FACE it—I didn't buy "FREE/*KITTEN*," alright (or is it "BODY/HEAD" ... hmm 🤔 ). I got a Thurston MOORE album — the one with "Psychic HEARTS" on it, natch. — but just because Sonic Youth is The One Band that *MATTERS* Above All *ELSE* and Terrifies *ELDERS* doesn't mean you have TIME—

Good SHOW, though Favorite track: I’m A Man.

costello75 A most singular voice, coming from a most singular place/band, with a most singular message at a most singular time. We stand uncertain at these crossroads. We look both left and right. Safer to check twice before crossing. Which way will we choose to go? Favorite track: I Don’t Miss My Mind.

venom-og Updated observations of contemporary life. I find use of prose and instruments disjointed.

Clear and cleanliness it is.

well planned and not enough spontaneous reach to give it enough truth.

Trophies. now that is what I needed

about

Legendary musician and multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordon returns with her second solo album, The Collective, which will be released March 8th on Matador. Recorded in her native Los Angeles, The Collective follows Gordon’s 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.

“On this record, I wanted to express the absolute craziness I feel around me right now,” says Gordon. “This is a moment when nobody really knows what truth is, when facts don’t necessarily sway people, when everyone has their own side, creating a general sense of paranoia. To soothe, to dream, escape with drugs, TV shows, shopping, the internet, everything is easy, smooth, convenient, branded. It made me want to disrupt, to follow something unknown, maybe even to fail.”
