Kim Deal Announces Debut Solo Album, Shares Lead Single ‘Crystal Breath’

The announcement comes after the Breeders member released her first solo single in a decade, ‘Coast’, a few months back.

Kim Deal’s long-in-the-works debut solo album is finally arriving this year. After a career spanning almost four decades that’s included fronting the Breeders and two stints with the Pixies, Deal’s first album Nobody Loves You More is dropping November 22 via 4AD (pre-order/pre-save here).

Along with announcing the album, Deal has shared the lead single ‘Crystal Breath’. The track combines fuzzy guitars with probing rhythms and comes on the heels of the previously released Steve Albini-produced tune ‘Coast’.

The track is accompanied by an Alex Da Corte-directed video featuring Deal swaying back and forth against different backgrounds. You can watch the music video for ‘Crystal Breath’ below.

Nobody Loves You More contains 11 songs, with two of the tracks, ‘Are You Mine?’ and ‘Wish I Was’, originally written and recorded in 2011. Steve Albini worked on eight of the album’s tracks at his Chicago studio Electrical Audio in November 2022 before his passing earlier this year.

Self-produced by Deal, the album includes a wide variety of contributors, including current Breeders members Kelley Deal (Kim’s sister) and Jim Macpherson, former band mates Mando Lopez and Britt Walford, Teenage Fanclub axeman Raymond McGinley and Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan.

The release of Nobody Loves You More comes a decade after Deal shared the double A-side ‘Biker Gone’ and ‘Beautiful Moon Clear’, two of ten songs she released solo between 2012 and 2014.

Nobody Loves You More arrives November 22 via 4AD. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here. Check out the album artwork and tracklisting below.
