Debut album by Sonic Youth's former Kim Gordon - "brilliantly weds noise textures to pop dynamics"

'No Home Record' is a first solo album by Kim Gordon, former voice of Sonic Youth, and here, she sounds as fresh as ever. Lyrically, she is dealing with "these calamitous times with as much wit and menace", as Guardian says in their review (five of five stars). Sonically, it's like anything we've heard from her before - "Many artists of her stature retreat from contemporary horrors to the comforts of the past, but Gordon relishes new raw material to remake in her own, inimitable image".
