Kim Gordon “PLAY ME” LP

Description:

Kim Gordon's third album, 'PLAY ME,' is distilled and immediate, expanding Gordons sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. We wanted the songs to be short, Gordon says. We wanted to do it really fast. Its more focused, and maybe more confident." The follow-up to 2024s Justin Raisen-produced, two-time Grammy-nominated 'The Collective' processes, in her inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technocratic end-times fascism, the A.I.-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture - where dark humor voices the absurdity of modern life. Despite its frequent outward gaze, 'PLAY ME' is an interior record, one in which a heightened emotionality pulses through physical jams, rejecting definitive statements in favor of an inquisitiveness that keeps Gordon searching, ever in process.A lifelong radical still at the peak of her powers. - New Yorker
