Kim Gordon titled her debut solo album No Home Record after the late Belgian director Chantal Akerman’s 2015 film No Home Movie. “Living in LA the last few years, it feels like home,” she remarks, “but the transience of the place makes it feel sometimes like no home.”

Including “Murdered Out” – the first single she released under her own name in 2016 – the album was produced by Justin Raisen, with contributions from Shawn Everett and Jake Meginsky. Indeed, it “wouldn’t have happened without the persistence of Justin Raisen”, insists Gordon. In the eight years since Sonic Youth disbanded, Gordon has published her memoir Girl In A Band and has been performing with Bill Nace as Body/Head. Her solo exhibition She Bites Her Tender Mind recently opened at IMMA in Dublin and another, Lo-Fi Glamour, is showing at Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh until 1 September.

Gordon has shared a video for lead track “Sketch Artist”, directed by Loretta Fahrenholz, in which you can see her driving around Los Angeles at night while staring out pedestrians. Released by Matador on 11 October, No Home Record is available for pre-order now.
