Title aside, today really is the day for the ever innovative, former Sonic Youth frontwoman to return with a striking, stylish, eclectic, bittersweet dress-themed new single heralding her upcoming third solo album, PLAY ME, out on 13 March via Matador Records.
The song is accompanied by a short film directed by Rodarte fashion label founders and filmmakers Kate and Laura Mulleavy with director of photography Christopher Blauvelt. The song brings out a poetic tension in Gordon’s voice. “I started singing in a way I hadn’t sung in a long time,” she says. “This other voice came out.”
For the video, Gordon wears a hand-dyed silk tulle dress from an early Rodarte collection, custom-made for her by the Mulleavys. “She was our idol and we vividly remember fitting the dress with her in NYC,” they said. “When we started to conceptualize the video, Kim brought up wearing the dress, which we knew was perfect for the video idea.”

Trees are weeping
Grass is wet
Rolling 'round, around
Darker blue, can it be?
It's true, through you, you, you
Are you bold or stuck like glue?
Like glue
There's a hole in my heart
There's a hole in my heart
There's a hole, there's a hole
Never mind the mess, it's just my dress
Skipping all the way down
These are like a new one
Never mind the mess, it's just my dress
Not a mеss with you, with you
These are likе a new one
Paint me up, make me dark, make me down
Where's my gum? Post-mate
Where's my gum? Post-mate
All in, yeah
Make it good, make it feel so good
Run away, run away
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh
Not today, not today
Never mind the mess, it's just my dress
Skippin' all the way down
These are like a new one, ah
