Jenkelly“The Collective demonstrated that Gordon could make terse, industrial-strength, hip-hop influenced music 100% at odds with Sonic Youth’s output. PLAY ME shows that she can still do that and add some squall.” My Kim Gordon review just went up at @aquariumdrunkard.com https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/03/13/kim-gordon-play-me/ #music #kimgordon
Kim Gordon :: PLAY ME - Aquarium Drunkard
Shuddering beats disintegrate, dragging pieces of themselves over rough surfaces, all noise and rhythm and confrontation. Kim Gordon, now on her third album as a solo artist, works again with Justin Raisen, churning up a particularly dirty, distorted variety of hip-hop crossed with indie rock, blitzed by amp buzz and ruptured occasionally by guitar. Over this seething, volatile bed, Gordon chants ominous verses that glance on, but do not explicate, the day’s big questions: AI, climate change, alienation, colonial overreach.
