- Kim Deal has lined up a live album documenting her 2025 orchestral London show behind her solo debut 'Nobody Loves You More,' with the tracklist running 18 songs.
- Cuán Roche directed a film of the Barbican performance that will accompany the LP.
- The Barbican show was Deal's first-ever orchestral performance, with a band that included the Shards choir, Breeder Mando Lopez, Susan Voelz, Lindsay Glover, Nick White, Rob Bochnik, and Teenage Fanclub's Raymond McGinley.
- Deal said she 'invited myself' to the Barbican, cold-reaching Chris Sharp — her former 4AD contact now working at the venue — to pitch performing with an actual orchestra.
- The tracklist mixes solo material with Breeders classics including 'Do You Love Me Now?' (track 18), plus two tracks featuring McGinley: 'Come Running' and 'A Good Time Pushed.'
Why it matters: The 18-track LP marks Deal's first-ever orchestral show captured for release, giving fans a document that bridges her solo career and Breeders legacy in one package. The bundled Roche-directed film extends the value beyond audio for a niche but devoted audience, while the McGinley collaborations tie Deal back into her indie-pop orbit.
