The founding member of Sonic Youth continues to push boundaries with incredible results almost 50 years into her career.
's new album The Collective is a harrowing 40 minutes of fractured beats, squalling noise, and spoken word diatribes on gender, capitalism, tenpin bowling, the American Dream, gun violence and so much more.
Raisen's beats are loud, distorted, and violent, sounding more like the backing for Atlanta rappers Playboi Carti or Destroy Lonely than Gordon's legendary old band. Her willingness to follow her producer to the edge — and vice versa — is what makes the creative partnership so fruitful, Gordon says. making an album of such vibrant intensity , its dark and jittery production and Gordon's deadpan delivery have really connected with creators and users on the platform."I mean, don't people just listen to 15 seconds of music at a time? I don't know. It's fun. It's funny. It's so abstract to me."
Gordon concedes, however, that there's a long history of fluidity in music and that her peers and heroes may not feel the same reluctance to embracing their feminine side. "It's almost like a fantasy about, what if we just had a general strike, and everyone stopped doing what they're doing and used our creativity in escaping, or something? Like in the ultimate passive aggressive way."
