Ahead of this Friday’s release of her album Nobody Loves You More, Kim Deal has shared its title track . A sonic departure from preceding singles ‘Coast’, ‘Crystal Breath’ and ‘A Good Time Pushed’, album opener ‘Nobody Loves You More’ starts like a tender love song rich with chiaroscuro before erupting into a big band moment, all soaring strings and bombastic horns. To accompany the single, Alex Da Corte brings the Bas Jan Ader-inspired album artwork to life as Deal embarks on a voyage, sure to fail.

Nobody Loves You More is Kim Deal’s debut solo album and will be released this Friday. In keeping with Deal’s meticulous approach to her art, the album was refined over several years; its oldest songs, ‘Are You Mine?’ and ‘Wish I Was’, were written and originally recorded in 2011 shortly after Deal came off the Pixies’ “Lost Cities Tour” and relocated to Los Angeles (early versions of those songs were included in a 2013 self-released five-part, ten-song seven-inch vinyl series). Along the way Deal enlisted a variety of collaborators from Breeders past and present (Mando Lopez, twin sister Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, Britt Walford), to Raymond McGinley (Teenage Fanclub), Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs), Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan, and Steve Albini, who recorded much of the record. Nobody Loves You More was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry.
Every song has a story behind it, from the winter vacations with her parents in Florida Keys (‘Summerland’), wedding band covers of ‘Margaritaville’ (‘Coast’) to her mother’s dementia (‘Are You Mine?’). All in all, the record is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistry, nodding not only to her career highlights with celebrated bands across the alternative landscape (Pixies, The Amps, The Breeders), but also to her immovable cultural weight influencing musicians like Kurt Cobain and Olivia Rodrigo through the generations.
Nobody Loves You More will be available digitally and on CD, cassette (Bandcamp only), standard black vinyl, Florida Orange vinyl (indie retail only) and Dazzling Galaxy vinyl (4AD & artist store only). For pre-order information, head HERE.
