Gordon has also released 'Not Today', the lead single from ‘Play Me’:
According to a press release, the new album promises a sound that is both “distilled and immediate,” with Gordon expanding her musical palette to incorporate more melodic beats alongside krautrock influences.
Discussing the collaboration with producer Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, Yves Tumor), Gordon noted, “We wanted the songs to be short. We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work—that came forth even more on this record.”
'Play Me' follows Gordon's 2019 debut solo album ‘No Home Record’, and her 2024 album, ‘The Collective’.
In a four-star review of ‘The Collective’, NME wrote: “Here the 70-year-old balances her less than commercial sensibilities with crunchily on-trend production and relatable lyrics about rotten capitalism and fragile masculinity – if these sound like themes she explored during Sonic Youth’s ‘90s heyday, it only goes to show how little has changed.”
