Kim Gordon’s New Band Glitterbust Share "The Highline" Video

Glitterbust (the duo of Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Tomorrows Tulips‘ Alex Knost) have shared a video for “The Highline,” taken from their recent self-titled debut. Directed by Thomas Campbell and filmed in Orange County, CA, the blurry clip sees the two performing the song in an industrial complex and on the street. Watch it below via Interview. Speaking with Interview, Gordon provided a vivid description of the song’s namesake, the High Line, a New York City park built on a former freight line. “On any given weekend [it] looks like a crowded, self-conscious human freeway,” she said, “surrounded by mirrored glass walls of luxury condos built up around it, casting shadows, part of the moneyed, power landscape.” She also said the video “shows alien, embryonic beings traipsing through the empty night, creating a ‘desire path’ through the empty industrial complex of Orange County, like lost cultural ghosts.”
