Kim Deal Shares New Single "A Good Time Pushed"

Rock legend Kim Deal of Pixies and Breeders fame has shared her new song “A Good Time Pushed” today, taken from her forthcoming debut solo record Nobody Loves You More. The LP is out on November 22 via 4AD, the product of over a decade’s work. Some of the songs were first recorded all the way back in 2011, and so far we’ve had two sneak peeks at the album’s sound thanks to her previously released singles “Coast” and “Crystal Breath.”

Although it’s the final track on the album (and the last one recorded by Deal), sonically, “A Good Time Pushed” exists between the beachy, horn-buoyed airiness of “Coast” and the dark, jagged juxtapositions of “Crystal Breath.” Engineered by the late Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago—a close friend whom she’d worked with for years—“A Good Time Pushed” revels in a relationship’s beginning and its eventual end. One moment the narrator is ready to “follow you off of this world,” and the next they’re itching to “push you off.”

Fuzzy, driving guitar harkens back to Last Splash-era Breeders—fitting considering that band members Jim MacPherson and Deal’s twin sister Kelley join her on the track. “A Good Time Pushed” is satisfyingly lackadaisical slacker rock, the perfect soundtrack to a day spent watching clouds drift lazily across the sky. Chunky, distorted guitars are balanced out by chiming synths and celestial harmonies as Deal keeps insisting that “we’re having a good time.”
