Kim Gordon's latest solo single comes closer to what we'd expect from her than some of the latest ones. "Psychedelic Orgasm" is just a burst of what could be too many sounds in other hands. The song is wonderfully dissonant, and just crams the experimental electronic sounds Gordon has been favoring lately with all the noise of the most bananas Sonic Youth songs of all time. There's also some modern pop music Autotune within the song, which I would not have expected at all. Along with the title, there is an abundance of psychedelia within the song. Yes, there's a lot going on with "Psychedelic Orgasm," but isn't that what you want with a song from Kim Gordon? Her best music can be quite challenging, and this one certainly is at times.
