Kim Gordon Releases 'Play Me' as Amant Opens Twin Brooklyn Shows

The album arrives alongside Brooklyn shows to underscore a multidisciplinary practice with pointed cultural critique.

Overview

  • Play Me, Gordon’s third solo album, is out March 13 and continues her collaboration with Los Angeles producer Justin Raisen.
  • The new record leans further into rhythm and more melodic beats compared with 2024’s trap-built The Collective.
  • Gordon describes her choppy, fragmentary lyrics as a revolt against billionaire power, democratic erosion, and AI-driven cultural flattening.
  • The title track pulls phrases from Spotify playlist names, signaling her critique of passive, algorithm-guided listening.
  • Amant in Brooklyn is hosting Count Your Chickens, a two-decade survey of her visual work, alongside Folded Group, a 19-artist show she co-curated with Bill Nace.
