Kim Gordon has released “DIRTY TECH,” the second single from her upcoming album, PLAY ME, due out March 13th via Matador Records. Stream the track below.
Sonically, “DIRTY TECH” is worlds away from the lead single, “NOT TODAY,” which focused more on Gordon stretching her vocals across cascading drums and noodling guitar. Here, Gordon wonders aloud about the future of technology over elastic, thrumming production that wouldn’t be out of place on a Drake album.
The track is meant to explore the power struggle between humans and robots. “I was kind of musing about, is my next boss going to be an AI chatbot?” Gordon explained in a press release. “We’re the first ones whose lights are going to go out — not the tech billionaires. It’s so abstract that people can’t comprehend.”
In the music video, directed by Moni Haworth, Gordon looks fab in a creepy, abandoned corporate office. Thematically, the visuals complement the song itself, as Gordon uses open space and the absence of others to further hammer her point home: the robots cannot win. Watch the clip below.
Pre-orders for PLAY ME are ongoing. Gordon will be supporting the album this spring with a previously announced tour of the UK and Europe. See the dates below and get tickets here.
