'I still am like, 'Would Kim Gordon think this was cool?'' Snail Mail says in a tribute to one of her biggest musical heroes. 'I see her as a beacon of inspiration and true artistic genius.'
Sonic Youth is one of the first bands I remember ever getting really into, and it opened up a whole world to me. Being a little girl playing music, I was automatically thirsty for heroes — and Kim Gordon was an immediate light switch on. That was the first time I ever listened to any nonlinear, noisy, ambient, abstract music, and seeing a woman right at the forefront of it definitely did something to my brain. I was 13 or 14, putting the pieces together.
and I loved hearing everything from her perspective. Something that stuck with me in a big way is where she was talking about people searching for some kind of out to how harsh the music is by noticing that there’s a woman, and being like, “OK, I’m not scared anymore.” And she’s like, “Yoube scared. I’m not here to provide anyone comfort.” I thought about that for a long time, and it always comes back to me.
