It's such a joy when artists continue to explore new territory. On her addictively strange, loop-based, dubby, and intentionally blown-out second solo record for Matador, the multimedia artist, Body/Head co-founder, and Sonic Youth's trailblazing bassist, vocalist, and songwriter finds new levels of sonic digital dirt to explore. Gordon's already made distinctive music outside of the alternative rock/improv bubble of her peers, notably on 2019's No Home Record, a collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Lil Yachty, Charli XCX), who she notably met while renting an Airbnb or through a restaurant encounter with her brother, depending on the source.
Where No Home Record sometimes sounded like it was trying too hard to catch up with the times, all of the choices made on The Collective (also made with Raisen) are solid, syncretic choices, even when the beats and loops are cut-up, distorted, and haphazard. It's nasty and noisy and smart as hell. With its cover art blurrily depicting a pair of hands caressing a cellphone, it's clear these songs were made in the present. "I'm a Man" is hilarious and should be first on your next mixtape. We're reminded at times of the delightfully noisy record the members of Panasonic made with the vocalist from Suicide as Vainio / Väisänen / Vega.
With its embrace of new technology and cutting-edge sounds from current hip-hop and experimental music, it's hard not to be reminded of artist Cindy Sherman's current digital collage work. Gordon shows fierce strength shifting styles, engaging with the most contemporary culture, and messing about with new tools. © Mike McGonigal/Qobuz
