Kim Gordon (formerly of Sonic Youth) is releasing a new solo album, The Collective, this Friday via Matador. This week she has shared its third single, “Psychedelic Orgasm,” via a music video. She’s also announced some more tour dates for this June and July, including some new shows in North America, the UK, and the EU. Gordon co-directed the video with Vice Cooler. Watch it below, followed by all of Gordon’s upcoming tour dates.

Previously Gordon shared the album’s first single, “BYE BYE,” via a music video. “BYE BYE” was one of our Songs of the Week. Then she shared its second single, “I’m a Man,” also via a music video.

The Collective is Gordon’s second solo album and follows 2019’s No Home Record. As with that album, Gordon once again collaborated with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor). Anthony Paul Lopez provided additional production.

A press release describes the album in more detail: “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.”
