Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More (IEX Orange) Vinyl Record

Nobody Loves You More is Kim Deal’s debut album, although it’s technically not her first release under her own name – she self- released a 5-part, 10-song 7” vinyl series in 2013, and beyond that, she’s earned her stripes as early as the late 80s with bands Pixies and The Breeders. The long-awaited record’s creation began with its oldest songs, “Are You Mine?” and “Wish I Was,” which were written and recorded in 2011, and included in 2013 vinyl series, shortly after Deal concluded Pixies’ ‘Lost Cities Tour’ and relocated to L.A. In the years since, the record took shape in pieces, with a variety of collaborators including Breeders past and present (Mando Lopez, Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, and Britt Walford), and new friends like Jack Lawrence (The Greenhorns) and Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan. Tracked over the last several years, the record’s last recording was helmed by iconic engineer and Deal’s close friend Steve Albini, tracking “A Good Time Pushed” with Jim and Kelley in November 2022.

Sonically versatile and infectious, the record is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistry, nodding not only to her career highlights with celebrated bands across the alternative landscape, but also to her immovable cultural weight, including her impact on current young musicians such Olivia Rodrigo (Deal and The Breeders supported her Guts World Tour this year). At one of her sold-out MSG dates with the band, Rodrigo told the crowd: “I thought Kim was the coolest girl in the world. I’m very inspired by them and everything they stand for. They are absolutely iconic.”

Nobody Loves You More, Deal’s first individual entry into her musical canon, will only cement her legacy even further and hopefully crystallize the free-wielding, creatively daring spirit she’s been fostering since her very first appearance.
