Kim Deal Releases Debut Solo Album, “Nobody Loves You More”
Former Pixies bassist and Breeders frontwoman Kim Deal has been making music for decades, but she’s just released her first ever solo album. Nobody Loves You More began over a decade ago, but came more into focus when she was in the Florida Keys during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection of songs flourished into a full-fledged album that covers aspects of her own life.
Nobody Loves You More was produced by the legendary Steve Albini, who died earlier this year. She had worked with him for years and together they pushed the boundaries of her music on the new album.
“You think of Steve as this guy who would never recommend doubling a vocal, or adding reverb to your voice like some schmuck,” she told Vulture. “But, ‘Summerland’ has viola, French horn, violin, and like ten different instruments. I had it in my head, the whole orchestra, and Steve helped shape it. He was so knowledgeable about all sorts of things, stuff you wouldn’t think the guy who says ‘Don’t double your vocal’ would know.”
While Deal is known for her stellar bass work, she actually enlisted some friends to fill out the album’s low end. She shares bass duties with Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, Dead Weather), Mando Lopez (former Breeders member), and Ayse Hassan (Savages).
