The Collective
Sonic mama Kim Gordon left NYC for LA almost ten years ago, but you can still hear that city’s noisy cacophony wailing through her solo music. This album made me feel as if I was straddling these two beloved cities with each listen. I hear my former home of Los Angeles speaking to me as it spurns my forever obsession with New York City. Thank you Kim for Sonic Youth, introducing me to Sun Ra and all the rad art rock noise you have created over the years.
