In the wake of the near-total ban on abortion signed into law this past year in Texas, and this week’s U.S. Supreme Court hearing, where justices heard arguments concerning Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and looked set to uphold the ban, Kim Gordon has shared a new song, with proceeds from this month of December benefitting Fund Texas Choice , a non-profit that pays for Texans’ travel to abortion clinics. “Grass Jeans,” Kim’s first release since her 2019 solo album No Home Record, was recorded with her touring band members Sterling Laws, Sarah Register, and Camilla Charlesworth.
“I often get asked ‘Can music change things for people in a political landscape?’ Hell yes it can . . . but it takes a listener, an audience to make it anything,” Kim says. “So please join me in helping to protect and keep accessible a woman’s right to choose her fate by purchasing this song and supporting Fund Texas Choice and their collective efforts to secure abortion access for all. Thank you. It means so much.”
Kim is also co-editing a book, This Woman’s Work: Essays on Music that features contributions from Ottessa Moshfegh, Juliana Huxtable, Liz and Jenn Pelly, Maggie Nelson, Anne Enright, Fatima Bhutto, Margo Jefferson, and more. It’s due out in April 2022
