As part of The 1975’s takeover of The Face, we’ve released a series of podcasts featuring frontman Matty Healy in conversation with his musical heroes.

Kim Gordon was a founding member of Sonic Youth, the New York band who tore apart the rules of how rock music should be played. Since their split in 2011, Gordon has performed as half of experimental guitar duos Body/Head and Glitterbust, written the bestselling book Girl in a Band and, last year, released her first solo album, No Home Record. She’s also dedicated her time to art, film and political activism.

In this podcast, Gordon discusses NYC’s No Wave scene, her career in art, dealing with depression through writing, her passion for film and politics, and being “freaked out” by modern pop culture.

Want to hear more of these? We also have podcasts featuring Healy talking to Stevie Nicks, Brian Eno, Steve Reich, Mike Kinsella, Conor Oberst and Bobby Gillespie. Read the full transcripts on TheFace.com
