Kim Deal Has a Live Album on the Way

Kim Deal is set to release a live album capturing her 2025 orchestral performance at the London Barbican, which accompanies her solo debut, Nobody Loves You More. A film directed by Cuán Roche will accompany the LP. The tracklist for the live album includes a mix of songs from Deal's solo career and Breeders classics like "Do You Love Me Now?".

In a press release, Deal stated, "I invited myself! That's how I came to play Nobody Loves You More at the Barbican. Years ago, I had worked with Chris Sharp at the 4AD label and I knew he was currently at The Barbican. So, I reached out to dear Chris and said I have orchestration on this record. I would love to be able to perform these songs with an actual orchestra.

And Chris said yes, we'd love to have you." The band accompanying her included the Shards choir, Breeders member Mando Lopez, Susan Voelz, Lindsay Glover, Nick White, Rob Bochnik, and Teenage Fanclub's Raymond McGinley. The live performance was Deal's first-ever orchestral performance.
