Patti Smith on covering After The Goldrush

'The last song on the record, I performed live with my son, Jackson, and my daughter, Jesse,' says Smith. 'I wanted the album to end like dawn breaking, and I thought of the type of song that I wanted to write. But then I was in a café and I happened to hear Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush,' and I thought, Neil's already written it.'

KIKI PICASSO graphic propaganda

Claiming the influence of the kabbalist Abdul Vector Von Hassid, this sonic nation distills on its first record a raging mix of sharp noisy post-no-wave guitars and urgent rap. Some electro colour also emanates from crazy architect Seb el Zin’s mix. Kiki Picasso’s cover places the recording in a geopolitical context where William Burroughs drops acid with Ben Laden.

Records were melted and sculpted to form a cascading wave, dotted with bursts of colorful labels. The resulting structure speaks to the inevitable waves of technology that render each successive generation of recordable media obsolete. The piece also aims to physically manifest the ephemerality of music as well as one man’s musical tastes, as represented by his personal record collection.
