Production
Kim Gordon, co-founder and bassist of Sonic Youth, states in a recent interview on how her solo album came to be,[8]
*"*Why a solo record? And why now? I don’t know, but it wouldn’t have happened without the persistence of Justin Raisen. Living in LA the last few years it feels like home, but the transience of the place makes it feel sometimes like no home.”
Justin Raisen has worked with artists like Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira and Sunflower Bean. No Home Record was recorded in Los Angeles, California at Sphere Ranch.[6] The title for the album came from Chantal Akerman's film, No Home Movie. Shawn Everett of The Voidz also participated in the making of the album.

Other Media
On September 11, 2019, Gordon released the music video for the track "Air BnB". The video is a black screen with white text which states at the very beginning that "there wasn't any money" to shoot the video at an Air BnB. The video then rolls out a bunch of text telling the user to "Think faux mid-century modern on the top of the Hollywood Hills", and how the video would be shot in slow motion, and how Kim would be 'rubbing her guitar on everything". [9]
In mid-October, the video for "Hungry Baby" was released.
The music video was directed by Loretta Fahrenholz, with the cartoon scene illustrated by Ivan Chilly.[11]
On December 11, 2019 Kim released the music video for "Earthquake."
Loretta Fahrenholz directed the video as well as designed the concept, with animation by Jak Ritger and K8 Howl.[13]
Reception
Pitchfork (website) gave Kim Gordon's debut record an 8.4 out of 10. A critic claimed,[10]
"Even longtime fans may find themselves thunderstruck by some of the turns she takes here.
But the record also confirms the essence of her creative identity; it’s shot through with sounds and concepts that have defined her work over the years, just presented in a way we’ve never heard them before."
