NO HOME RECORD | KIM GORDON

1.28.20 It is not surprising that Kim Gordon’s first real solo album outside of Sonic Youth would be remarkable. But what is surprising is there aren’t more of these releases from her after 30 plus years. No matter, No Home Record is a time bomb of sonic goodness. It is unpredictable. It is original. It is moving. It is one of those records that I feel like I’ve just watched a movie after a full listen.

Electronic fuzz, texture and disorienting beats perfectly cradle Kim’s awesome snarl. “Murdered Out” stood out for me.

Philip Sherburne @ Pitchfork writes: No Home Record—which, incredibly, is Gordon’s first solo album in 38 years of making music—offers evidence of her reinvention: Even longtime fans may find themselves thunderstruck by some of the turns she takes here. But the record also confirms the essence of her creative identity; it’s shot through with sounds and concepts that have defined her work over the years, just presented in a way we’ve never heard them before. . . .
