Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More

Released: 22/11/24

The debut solo album from Kim Deal has been decades in the making, and reader, it’s bloody awesome. Recorded in part by Deal’s close friend Steve Albini before his passing, a collegial atmosphere pervades Nobody Loves You More, with guests including twin sister and Breeders alum Kelley Deal, Teenage Fanclub’s Raymond McGinley, and Savages’ Fay Milton, and accordingly, the record is one of the most diverse that Pixies and Breeders legend has ever made.

While there are many stone-cold indie-rock gems to please the college rock contingent, including the fantastic album closer ‘A Good Time Pushed’, which is on a par with the very best Breeders songs, and the lovely lead single ‘Coast’, which has an airy Tex-Mex-meets-Silver Jews feel, tracks such as the driving, motorik 'Crystal Breath’, with its blown-out drums and heavy analogue-synth bass, shows that Deal can even make eminently danceable experimental indie on a par with Le Tigre and Gang Gang Dance.
