Kim Deal will release her new album, Nobody Loves You More on November 22 on 4AD. Featuring her recent single ‘Coast’, the collection of 11 songs is the Dayton, Ohio resident’s first full-length album under her own name.
Having originally come to attention in the late ’80s as bassist and singer in the Pixies, Deal has subsequently released music as the frontwoman of both The Breeders and The Amps. It’s not the first time she has gone solo – she self-released a five-part, ten-song seven-inch vinyl series in 2013. The album was refined over several years: its oldest songs, ‘Are You Mine?’ and ‘Wish I Was’, were written and originally recorded in 2011 shortly after Deal came off the Pixies’ “Lost Cities Tour” and relocated to Los Angeles (early versions of those songs were included in said vinyl series); the last recording for the album took place in November 2022 with legendary engineer and close friend Steve Albini, who helmed final track ‘A Good Time Pushed’ at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. She has brought in a variety of collaborators from Breeders past and present (twin sister Kelley Deal, Mando Lopez, Jim Macpherson, Britt Walford), to Raymond McGinley (Teenage Fanclub), Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs) and Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan. Nobody Loves You More was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry.
Every song has a story behind it, from the winter vacations with her parents in Florida Keys (‘Summerland’), wedding band covers of ‘Margaritaville’ (‘Coast’) to her mother’s dementia (‘Are You Mine?’). The album tracklisting is as follows:
1 Nobody Loves You More
