If It's Too Loud...

Photo via Facebook Much as being able to press *69 on your phone and be able to call a number back was so mindblowing in 1994 that R.E.M. was compelled to write about it, in 2019 Kim Gordon has written a song called "Air BnB." "Air BnB," like previous single "Sketch Artist," is still more of a dance song than we'd expect from Gordon, this new one is a raging noisemaker of a song. Picture some of the noisiest, most discordant material Sonic Youth released, but somehow still a dance party. For the video, Gordon couldn't afford to record the one she wanted to make, so instead of coming up with a new concept the video is basically a white lettering on a black background describing the video she wanted to make.  You can watch the video for "Air BnB" below. No Home Record , the upcoming solo debut from Kim Gordon, will be released October 11 on Matador Records. It's available for pre-order here . For more on Kim Gordon, check out her ...

Photo via Facebook Despite being in the music scene for nearly forty years and being in such integral groups as Free Kitten, Body/Head, and, of course, Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon has yet to release a solo album. That changes in October with the release of No Home Record , Gordon's first solo album. If her new song "Sketch Artist" is indicative of the album, it's not at all what you'd expect. "Sketch Artist" is extraordinarily bass heavy and is mostly an electronic song. I'm going to use my very limited knowledge of electronic music (which is mostly from the 90's) and say it combines the discordance and menace of Aphex Twin with the drum and bass of Roni Size. For a new sound that is this unexpected, I'm going to have to take some extra time to adjust to this one, but I'm pretty sure I like it. It's definitely a good and interesting song.
