here & now

‘Well, we just kind of listen to each other. Sometimes I really like to stop playing and just listen to Bill. I enjoy his playing because he’s so good. It is always so amazing when I actually realize what he is doing. Some of the things partly form songs, but most of what we do is pretty much improvised every night – the lyrics and everything.’ is what Kim Gordon had to say about her current project Body/Head with free noise guitarist Bill Nace. And improvisation caught on tape sounds like this – their first album, Coming Apart – which is Kim Gordon’s first since the days of Sonic Youth (and rather great, we should add) – now on stream at Pitchfork.
