Kim Gordon - "ECRP"

Photo by Danielle Neu

Indie rock legend Kim Gordon continues her foray into experimental electronic music with her latest single. "ECRP" was not included on Gordon's recent album The Collective, but it fits right into the sound of that album. It's filled with aggressive beats, and probably isn't as experimental as I say. "ECRP" is both a surprising direction for Gordon and a sound that makes complete sense. It also helps solidify Gordon as the former member of Sonic Youth that is making the most interesting music post split. Even if this change in sound doesn't work for you, it's still a compelling sound. And if you give it a fair chance, it's going to work for the majority of her Gordon's long term fans.

You can watch the Coco Gordon-Moore directed video for "ECRP" below. The song is available as a single via Matador Records. For more on Kim Gordon, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
