Kim Deal today shares her debut solo album Nobody Loves You More, out now. In keeping with Deal’s meticulous approach to her art, the album was refined over several years; its oldest songs were written and originally recorded in 2011 shortly after Deal came off the Pixies’ Lost Cities Tour and relocated to Los Angeles.
Deal enlisted a variety of collaborators from Breeders past and present (Mando Lopez, twin sister Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, Britt Walford), to Raymond McGinley, Jack Lawrence, Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan, and Steve Albini, who recorded much of the record. Nobody Loves You More was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry.
Shared earlier in the week, the title track ‘Nobody Loves You More’ starts like a tender love song rich with chiaroscuro before erupting into a big band moment, all soaring strings and bombastic horns. To Accompany the single, Alex Da Corte brings the Bas Jan Ader-inspired album artwork to life as Deal embarks on a voyage, sure to fail. Watch below!
Every song has a story behind it, from the winter vacations with her parents in Florida Keys, wedding band covers of ‘Margaritaville’, to her mother’s dementia. All in all, the record is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistry, nodding not only to her career highlights with celebrated bands across the alternative landscape (Pixies, The Amps, The Breeders), but also to her immovable cultural weight influencing musicians like Kurt Cobain and Olivia Rodrigo through the generations.
Nobody Loves You More is available digitally, on CD, cassette (Bandcamp only), standard black vinyl, and Florida orange vinyl (Indie store exclusive).
