Kim Gordon New Single ‘ECRP’ Ahead Of AU Tour

In it, quick-cutting shots of a variety of New York street scenes augment the Justin Raisen-produced song’s disorienting sonics, as Gordon intones of “rumors of free speech” and “ashes on the nightstand”.

Acclaim for The Collective

“Kim Gordon’s coolest act yet” – New York Times

“A staggering creative rebirth” – The Guardian

“Intense, challenging and quite brilliant” – The Times

“Vicious and brilliant” – Pitchfork ‘Best New Music’

“A multisensory experience, with Gordon’s deadpan delivery and menacingly matter-of-fact lyrics breathing in your ear as the music explodes around you” – Sunday Times

Marking the launch of her UK live dates this week, Kim Gordon has released a new non-album single, ‘ECRP’, with an accompanying video once again featuring, this time as director, her daughter, Coco Gordon Moore. In it, quick-cutting shots of a variety of New York street scenes augment the Justin Raisen-produced song’s disorienting sonics, as Gordon intones of “rumors of free speech” and “ashes on the nightstand”.

The Current spoke on Kim’s recent live show in Minneapolis and said “Gordon and her band decorated 90 minutes with musical innovation and inspiration for women to unflinchingly exhibit their sexuality and power, at any age.” Racket MN wrote “I was curious to hear how she translated this pop art project into a live experience. And I found out: with a pretty damn good rock band.”

Earlier this year, Gordon released her second solo album, The Collective, to critical acclaim, with Vultureand Pitchfork calling it one of the best albums of the year. Gordon also made her explosive solo late night television debut, performing ‘BYE BYE’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Recorded in Gordon’s native Los Angeles, The Collective follows her 2019 full-length debut No Home Record and continues her collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor), with additional production from Anthony Paul Lopez. The album advances their joint world building, with Raisin’s damaged, blown out dub and trap constructions playing the foil to Gordon’s intuitive word collages and hooky mantras, which conjure communication, commercial sublimation and sensory overload.
