Musician and visual artist Kim Gordon will release her highly anticipated second solo album, The Collective, this Friday, March 8th. Today, she offers one more early taste of the album with ‘Psychedelic Orgasm’. A video for the track is also out today, directed by Gordon and musician/filmmaker/producer Vice Cooler. With its quick cuts and upside down tableaus of desiccated pumpkins, giant inflatables and shopping mall escalators, the Los Angeles-set clip is as disorienting as ‘Psychedelic Orgasm’ itself.
Gordon today also announces UK, European and further North American tour dates. The UK shows will see her playing Koko in London on June 25th and the O2 Institute2 in Birmingham on June 26th. A full rundown of the tour dates can be found below.
‘Psychedelic Orgasm’ follows previously released singles and videos ‘I’m A Man’ and ‘BYE BYE’, which both star Coco Gordon Moore.
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.
