Albums Of The Week: Kim Deal | Nobody Loves You More

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:Nobody Loves You More is Kim Deal’s debut album, although it’s technically not her first release under her own name. She self-released a five-part, 10-song 7” vinyl series in 2013, and of course, she earned her stripes back in the ’80s with Pixies and The Breeders.

The long-awaited record’s creation began with its oldest songs, Are You Mine? and Wish I Was, which were written and originally recorded in 2011 and included in the aforementioned vinyl series, shortly after Deal concluded PixiesLost Cities Tour and relocated to L.A.

In the years since, the record took shape in pieces, coming to light with a variety of collaborators, including Breeders past and present (Mando Lopez, Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, Britt Walford), as well as new friends like Jack Lawrence (The Greenhornes) and Savages Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan. Tracked over the last several years, the record’s last recording was helmed by iconic engineer and Deal’s close friend Steve Albini, who recorded A Good Time Pushed with Jim and Kelley in November 2022.

Sonically versatile and propulsively infectious, the resulting record is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistry, nodding not only to her career highlights with celebrated bands across the alternative landscape, but also to her immovable cultural weight.”
