Body/Head

Body/Head, “Body/Head” (Matador, 2013)
Kim Gordon’s first solo project since the simultaneous dissolution of her band and her marriage is the first Sonic Youth-related project since the mid-‘80s to have that sense of wild menace and possibility that kind of faded during SY’s long years of maturity/domestic bliss. Atonal and devoid of verse-chorus-verse familiarity, this long, rhythmically taut guitar-storm draws its structure from Kim’s personal drama, manifested here as an exorcism and the purest, most primal blues.
