Kim Gordon has announced the release of a new book – or “personally curated scrapbook”, as described in a listing by the publisher, Rizzoli – titled No Icon, and introduced with a foreword from Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein.
Arriving October 13, No Icon will feature previously-unpublished photographs, fashion editorials, song lyrics, writing, and other ephemera from the legendary Sonic Youth musician’s career, to form “an edgy and evocative portrait of Gordon’s life, art, and style”.
Last year, Kim Gordon released her first ever solo album, No Home Record, following the break up of Sonic Youth back in 2011. More recently, the musician has thrown her support behind an initiative to provide face coverings to Indigenous communities across the US amid the coronavirus pandemic.
