‘I’ve always liked hip-hop,’ the singer-guitarist says of her own rhythmic deadpan vocal delivery.
“It just kind of happened that way, you know?” she says of the denser, noisier sound of “The Collective,” her second solo album that arrived this month.
Singer-guitarist Kim Gordon’s new album “The Collective” was released on March 8,2024. Her tour for it includes stops at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles on March 27 and the Ventura Music Hall in Ventura on March 29. “Kim Gordon is at the Peak of Her Powers,” the New Yorker declared. “Four Decades Into Her Career, Kim Gordon Is Still Exploding Our Expectations,” wrote Rolling Stone, while the Washington Post review announced, “Noise-rock star enters rap zone.
Add to that, her leeriness about the L.A. music world; to Gordon, it seemed like the flipside of the downtown New York City scene, which still felt like her musical home. She thought of Los Angeles as a place where it can take “10 people to make a song,” she says. “I felt like I could do something with it, so I went in and did some vocals,” Gordon says. “He took these bits of it and put it to kind of a really trashy drumbeat and sent it to me.
“Things like that just filter in,” Gordon says. “But getting back to ‘The Candy House,’ I thought was a really interesting idea, and I kind of wanted it to go a little further. So ‘The Candy House,’ it’s kind of a relationship song. Like, there’s often these elusive men, or somebody who for whatever reason they’re not accessible.
