Kim Gordon's New Band Glitterbust Announce New Album

Sounds Great! Really close Body/Head but doesn´t matter. Really wait vinyls to come!

Just saw this promoted on tumblr.

wtf?

Reminds me more of Sweet Ride and Perfect Partner than Body/Head

meditative waves of noise. i like it. better than thruster moore's recycled chord garbage

I hope there's drums or some kind of beat in that album.

Don´t believe will be.

AllMusic has reviewed it already:

Quote:

With each of her post-Sonic Youth projects, Kim Gordon has explored different sides of her music. As one half of Glitterbust, her collaboration with Tomorrows Tulips' Alex Knost, she once again touches on elements from her past that feel genuine but not overly familiar. On the duo's self-titled debut, Glitterbust takes a more insular, vulnerable approach than Body/Head did on Coming Apart; as powerful as that album was, its mix of detachment and aggression felt more expected from Gordon. By comparison, Glitterbust feels more open-ended and blurred around the edges, whether on the hypnotic "The Highline," which is the closest the album comes to a climax, or on the tender, melancholy opener "Soft Landing." Though Gordon trades bass for guitar in this project, some of the haunting quality of Sonic Youth's earlier days remains: "Repetitive Differ" is a reminder that she is second to none at making spoken word sound as nuanced and thrilling as singing, while the song's woolly distortion and almost subliminal flow add to its delicate beauty. At times, Glitterbust's droning guitar excursions recall the psychedelic drift of Bardo Pond or Valet, a similarity heightened by the thoughtful pauses in the duo's music. The album's longer pieces make the most of this ebb and flow; "Erotic Resume" uses its 12 minutes to float from radiant to tense and back again, while the harmonica and guitar solo that emerge halfway through the breathy 15-minute closing track "Nude Economics" feel like major events. An exploratory work, Glitterbust nevertheless has an appealing serenity that makes it unique within Gordon's discography.

I wouldn't mind hearing Steve Shelley in there...

It's fucking boring.

yeap...boring ! a little better than body/head but we don't need five minutes of noisy empty farts...again and again..

Well, I like it. I knew I would like it. It's a Kim Gordon project. I am far too full of personal bias and lingering sadness over the loss of Sonic Youth to not love everything any band member puts out. Empty noise farts or not.

God I miss sonic youth though.

Anyway, I say 7/10. Nice of Kim to get some press for that silly surfer dude. It's almost like an act of charity. Even in death, Sonic Youth continues to inspire and promote lesser bands. It's endearing. And the record is total ear candy compared to the (still awesome) Coming Apart.

Really love the album too! I think it has more light than Body/Head. Specially the first vinyl reminds me eighties SY, same feelings as in BMR & EVOL. Really like also Alex Knost does also vocal parts. Have to listen this more, listened it now only twice.

Of course this is not as great as any SY-album, but really didn´t expect it to be. Insert in vinyls reminds me DDN-insert.

I must spread more reputation around before giving it to Mortte Jousimo or pepper_green again, apparently.
