Marking the launch of her UK live dates this week, Kim Gordon has released a new non-album single, ‘ECRP’, with an accompanying video once again featuring, this time as director, her daughter, Coco Gordon Moore. In it, quick-cutting shots of a variety of New York street scenes augment the Justin Raisen-produced song’s disorienting sonics, as Gordon intones of “rumors of free speech” and “ashes on the nightstand”.
Earlier this year, Gordon released her second solo album, The Collective, to critical acclaim, with Vulture and Pitchfork calling it one of the best albums of the year. Gordon also made her explosive solo late night television debut, performing ‘BYE BYE’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Recorded in Gordon’s native Los Angeles, The Collective follows her 2019 full-length debut No Home Record and continues her collaboration with 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.
The Collective track list:
1. BYE BYE
2. The Candy House
3. I Don’t Miss My Mind
4. I’m a Man
5. Trophies
6. It’s Dark Inside
