Kim Deal of The Breeders has announced her debut solo album, Nobody Loves You More. It’s due out November 22nd via 4AD and features the new single, “Crystal Breath.” Stream it below.
The songs on Nobody Loves You More date as far back as 2011, when Deal recorded “Are You Mine?” and “Wish I Was” after coming off the Pixies’ “Lost Cities Tour.” The most recent recordings for the album were made in November 2022 with the late Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago.
Among the contributors to the album include past and present Breeders members Mando Lopez, twin sister Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, and Britt Walford, as well as Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub, and Savages members Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan.
“Crystal Breath” has an interesting origin story, having originally been written and rejected as a theme song for a TV series about an aerobics instructor. Accordingly, it pairs lyrics like, “Gotta breathe/ Then I feel alright,” with an uptempo drumbeat and distorted guitars.
Nobody Loves You More also features Deal’s July single “Coast,” which marked her first solo release in nearly a decade. Before that, Deal put out a five-part 7-inch vinyl series from 2012 through 2014.
Deal has a handful of upcoming tour dates with the Breeders, including an appearance at Ohana Festival. See the full schedule below, and get tickets here.
