Em 35 anos de carreira, vimos a Kim Gordon em diversos projetos &#x2014; principalmente, claro, no Sonic Youth; mas também no Free Kitten, sua banda com a vocalista do Pussy Galore, Julia Cafritz; o Body/Head com o guitarrista Bill Nace; e o Glitterbust, primeiro projeto da baixista depois do trágico fim de sua banda principal e do lançamento de seu livro de memórias, _Garota da Banda_. O que não tínhamos visto ainda, porém, é a Kim Gordon lançar música sob seu próprio nome.

Quer dizer, até agora. Nessa segunda (12), a artista lançou um single chamado "Murdered Out", via [NPR](http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2016/09/12/493259751/hear-kim-gordons-first-song-released-under-her-own-name). Como boa ex-Sonic Youth, Kim não deixou pra trás o barulho e a dissonância na nova faixa, que conta com a Stella Mozgawa, do quarteto Warpaint, na bateria. Ouça "Murdered Out":

"Murdered Out"

Black matte spray.  

When I moved back to LA, I noticed more and more cars painted with black matte spray, tinted windows, blackened logos, and black wheels. This was something I had occasionally seen in the past, part of lowrider car culture. A reclaiming of a corporate symbol of American success, The Car, from an outsider’s point of view. A statement-making rejection of the shiny brand new look, the idea of a new start, the promise of power, and the freedom on the open road. Like an option on a voting ballot, "none of the above.”
 
“Murdered Out," as a look, is now creeping into mainstream culture as a design trend. A coffee brand. A clothing line. A nailpolish color.
 
Black-on-black matte is the ultimate expression in digging out, getting rid of, purging the soul. Like a black hole, the supreme inward look, a culture collapsing in on itself, the outsider as an unwilling participant as the “It" look.

I met the uber talented Justin Raisen, the producer, offhandedly. He was working on a project with another artist and kept sending me tracks to listen to with the possibility of getting me to sing on one of them. When I learned I could make up my own lyrics, I was in. With the remaining bits of unused vocals, he started what would be "Murdered Out." Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint) plays drums, based on the trashy drums that Justin first laid down. I went back and did more vocals and guitar and we mixed it…"Murdered Out" was such a great surprise! Looking forward to our next collaboration.
