Kim Gordon: “Bye Bye”

Opium Kim G talk-sings her approach by way of a blown-out bass and what feels like a repurposed automotive alarm—a beat that, if you happen to have been to take heed to it thrice in a row, would magically teleport you to the checkout line on the Rick retailer. Actually although, it’s not that removed from the songs on her 2019 album No Dwelling Report, just like the distorted “Sketch Artist” or “Paprika Pony,” which feels like a Marcusbasquiat-era Lucki SoundCloud loosie. Right here, the lyrics appear to be only a guidelines of issues to do and objects to pack earlier than both happening trip or happening the run. I’m not even positive if it’s really good or if she’s simply cool. However that’s the Opium approach.
