Kim Gordon - Play Me LP

Label: Matador

Release Date: March 13th, 2026

Standard edition black vinyl.

Kim Gordon’s third album, PLAY ME, is distilled and immediate, expanding her sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. “We wanted the songs to be short,” Gordon says. “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident.” The follow-up to 2024’s Justin Raisen-produced, two-time Grammy-nominated The Collective processes, in her inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class - the demolition of democracy, technocratic end-times fascism, the AI-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture - where dark humor gives voice to the absurdity of modern life.

Despite its frequent outward gaze, PLAY ME is an interior record, one in which heightened emotion pulses through physical jams, rejecting definitive statements in favor of an inquisitiveness that keeps Gordon searching, always in process.
