Kim Gordon – The Collective

At the age of 71, Kim Gordon crashes into the present with “The Collective” as if she were at the beginning of her Sonic Youth career. Gordon says “Bye Bye” at the beginning of the album, but what she means is an end to the straightness of history. The madness of the present becomes the motif that winds its way through eleven tracks, sublimating the Zeitgeist into psychedelic mantras. Only one thing is true for Gordon: there is no more truth. But as long as there is music, there is at least the possibility of shattering reality.
