Kim Gordon is back, with a fabulous new track and a music video which is, of course, supercool. It's a tale of teen rebellion, starring the artist's daughter, Coco Gordon Moore. And she's a chip off the old block.Directed by fashion photographer Clara Balzary, with the combination of authenticity and glamour that marks her stills work, we follow the girl as she runs away from the family home and embarks on an adventure.Toying with danger and risk, in a supermarket and motel, regarded as a loner and outsider by her peers, she is ultimately in the innocent pursuit of being herself. Balzary captures the aspect of a girl at a crucial stage in her journey to womanhood, in a marvellously understated fashion. As well as the real sense that this is Kim Gordon's story of teenage self-discovery it has a timeless and universal quality.Which is underlined by Gordon's cameo at the end. She's the girl's mother, and the expression on her face as she collects her from the motel, says it all.
