In August, founding Sonic Youth member Kim Gordon announced her debut solo album, No Home Record, which is due out this Friday, October 11th via Matador Records.
On Monday, Gordon released “Hungry Baby”, the latest single off of her new No Home Record LP. “Hungry Baby” follows up previously released singles including “Air BnB” and the album’s lead single, “Sketch Artist”, which was accompanied by a video directed by Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Loretta Fahrenholz. The “Sketch Artist” video features a cameo appearance from actress, comedian, and writer Abbi Jacobson (Broad City).
“Hungry Baby” “builds a wall of discordant sound around Gordon’s immediately recognizable vocals, a potent reminder of her massive influence over alternative music.” With some gritty guitar and hard-hitting percussion, the new tune showcases Gordon’s punk rock roots alongside her ever-evolving style as a singer-songwriter.

No Home Record was produced largely by Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Ariel Pink, Sky Ferreira) at Sphere Ranch in Los Angeles, along with contributions from Shawn Everett (Jim James, The Voidz, The War on Drugs) and composer/filmmaker Jake Meginsky (L’appel Du Vide). Gordon’s forthcoming solo album’s title is a nod to the French-Belgian director Chantal Akerman’s film No Home Movie.
“‘Why a solo record? And why now?,’” Gordon asked in a press release. “I don’t know, but it wouldn’t have happened without the persistence of Justin Raisen. Living in LA the last few years it feels like home, but the transience of the place makes it feel sometimes like no home.”
Fans can head here to pre-order Kim Gordon’s No Home Record debut solo album. Additionally, those who purchase the CD or LP at Amoeba Hollywood (6400 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA) on release day (this Friday) can celebrate with Gordon in-person with an exclusive in-store signing event starting at 7pm. All information on the special event can be found here.
