Rough Trade Edit

Legendary musician and multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordon returns with her second solo album,&nbsp;The Collective, which will be released March 8th on Matador. Recorded in her native Los Angeles,&nbsp;The Collective&nbsp;follows Gordon’s 2019 full-length debut&nbsp;No Home Record&nbsp;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.”
