Kim Gordon’s ‘No Home Record’ explores new terrain while recalling high-points from throughout her career. Read our review
That new look starts immediately: “Sketch Artist” opens the record with electronics that make like a forlorn string quartet, leading into burring, staccato thumps.
Working with several collaborators – notably L.A. producer-musician Justin Raisen, who’s honed his skills with Angel Olsen, Sky Ferreira, and Charli XCX — Gordon encases her voice in similar muted electronica bubbles, each a little different and quirkier than the one before.
Gordon’s ever elliptical approach to lyric writing guarantees that the album isn’t nearly as candid as hermemoir. The shuddery, eerily still “Earthquake” could be interpreted as an especially dismissive breakup song: “I got sand in my heart, for you/You want me to see you/Are you twelve?” But again, what pulls you in is the arrangement–a ravaged-beauty drone that feels like Gordon’s long-overdue answer record to the Velvets’ “Heroin.”doesn’t completely leave Gordon’s past in the dust.
Is she happier, more content, in her new life? It’s hard to say, and she doesn’t give an inch. But by the end of the record, on “Get Yr Life Back,” Gordon lets it all hang out as much as she can — making out with an unnamed someone and referencing Fleetwood Mac. Some degree of love is all around, and she’s going to make it after all.
