About the Performer:

Kim Gordon’s vision of art and noise has come sharper into focus just as readily as it’s changed—a paradigm of possibility that, four decades on, still feels like a dare. Releasing her debut solo single, “Murdered Out,” in 2016, Gordon launched a now-decade-long collaboration with Justin Raisen, an L.A. producer (Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, Yves Tumor) with a preternatural grip on her “minimal, trashy” aesthetic. In 2019, Gordon’s debut solo LP No Home Record proved she was attuned as ever to vanguard sounds, mixing avant-rap and footwork into her sonic conceptual art. The Collective, in 2024, was brickheavy and even more daring, led by the tectonic industrial clatter of her packing-list-cum-ragerap banger “BYE BYE” and earning two Grammy nominations. Play Me, her third solo album, processes, in Gordon’s impressionistic way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technocratic end-times fascism, the A.I.-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture.

The Fiery Furnaces is the long-running collaboration between siblings Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger. Renowned for their dense, allusive lyrics, formally inventive compositions, and unpredictable live shows, the band occupies a singular space in the landscape of experimental pop. This fall they reconvene for a limited series of duo performances to revisit their 2004 album, Blueberry Boat.
