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 5-part, 10-song 7” vinyl series in 2013, and beyond that, she’s earned her stripes as early as the late 80s with bands 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 said vinyl series, shortly after Deal concluded Pixies’ ‘Lost 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, and Britt Walford), as well as new friends like Jack Lawrence (The Greenhorns) 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, tracking “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, including her impact on current young musicians such Olivia Rodrigo (who even invited Deal and The Breeders to support her on Guts World Tour this year). At one of her sold-out Madison Square Garden dates with the band, Rodrigo told the crowd that she remembers her life in two parts: before she heard their song ‘Cannonball,’ and after. “I thought Kim was the coolest girl in the world,” Rodrigo said. “I’m very inspired by them and everything they stand for. They are absolutely iconic.”
Outside of enduring praise from the likes of Rodrigo and other persisting fans, Nobody Loves You More, Deal’s first individual entry into her musical canon, will only cement her legacy even further and hopefully crystallize the free-wielding, creatively daring spirit she’s been fostering since her very first appearance.
