Kim Deal
As a Breeders fangirl who has obsessively followed the Deal sisters’ various other projects (Pixies, the Amps, the Kelley Deal 6000, etc), I was very intrigued to hear Kim Deal’s debut solo album. Nobody Loves You More arrives nearly four decades into her prolific career, but Deal sounds as timeless and effortlessly cool as ever. At first listen, I was caught off guard by the orchestral flourishes and big band-style horns that graze the opening tracks “Nobody Loves You More” and “Coast.” But contrasted with moodier downbeat songs (“Bats In The Afternoon Sky” and “Are You Mine?”) and gritty experimental tunes (“Crystal Breath” and “Big Ben Beat”), the album forms a cohesively incohesive collection of tracks that would be perfect for dissociating around happy people—a common thread that runs through Deal’s discography. She will support the album after an opening set from singer-songwriter Morgan Nagler, who has co-written material for Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, and the Breeders. AUDREY VANN
