Kim Deal shares another taste of her debut solo album, Nobody Loves You More, in the form of new single, ‘A Good Time Pushed.’ The song is the album closer and the final song recorded by Kim, engineered by close friend Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. It features Breeders members Jim Macpherson and Kelley Deal. The track celebrates the beginning and end of a relationship: “Now is the time / For me to get what I want.” The single is paired with visuals by Mark Satterthwaite.

Praise for Kim Deal
“Kim Deal’s hazy, cotton-candy voice has been a one-of-a-kind mainstay in underground rock, but she’s never released a full solo album until now. At turns abrasive and achingly sweet, Nobody Loves You More is pure Deal, whether she’s offering her own off-kilter version of yacht rock on the lead single “Coast” or turning more experimental on the angular, staticky “Crystal Breath.” Even at its most infectious, a misty melancholy hangs over the album.” -The New York Times
“An album that celebrates the storied career of an inimitable artist, from intimate familial anecdotes to tales of youthful insolence in a zigzagging narrative just as disordered and unfiltered as the Kim Deal we all know and adore.” -Paste
“An incredible distillation of what Kim Deal does best. [She’s] an architect of hard and soft, fuzzy distortion but also romance and softness.” -NPR
“Deal’s work has always felt essential. She flaunts a songwriting style that proves catchy hooks and memorable choruses will always stand the test of time.” -UPROXX
Featuring previously released singles ‘Coast’ and ‘Crystal Breath,’ Nobody Loves You More is Kim Deal’s debut album, set for release on November 22nd via 4AD. In keeping with Deal’s meticulous approach to her art, the album was refined over several years; its oldest songs 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, wedding band covers of ‘Margaritaville’, to her mother’s dementia. 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 is released digitally and on CD, cassette (Bandcamp only), standard black vinyl, Florida Orange vinyl (indie retail only) and Dazzling Galaxy vinyl (4AD & artist store only) on 22 November.
