Kim Gordon announces debut solo album with menacing lead single "Sketch Artist"

20 August 2019, 15:01 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Kim Gordon has announced her first solo album No Home Record, accompanied by the foreboding lead single "Sketch Artist".

"Sketch Artist" is the lead single from Gordon's debut solo record, which will also feature her 2016 debut solo single "Murdered Out".

In 2017 the Sonic Youth co-founder teamed up with Mikal Cronin on their anti-Trump track "War/Golden God".

Gordon's debut solo album No Home Record was largely produced by Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Ariel Pink, Sky Ferreira) at Sphere Ranch in Los Angeles. The album features contributions from Shawn Everett (Jim James, The Voidz, The War on Drugs) and composer/filmmaker Jake Meginsky (L’appel Du Vide).

Speaking about her new record, Gordon says, "Why a solo record? And why now? I don’t know, but it wouldn’t have happened without the persistence of Justin Raisen. Living in LA the last few years it feels like home, but the transience of the place makes it feel sometimes like no home."

Tracklist:

  1. Sketch Artist
  2. Air BnB
  3. Paprika Pony
  4. Murdered Out
  5. Don’t Play It
  6. Cookie Butter
  7. Hungry Baby
  8. Earthquake
  9. Get Yr Life Back
"Sketch Artist" is out now. Kim Gordon's No Home Record album lands 11 October via Matador, and is available to pre-order now.
