Kim Gordon has dropped a discordant new single, ‘ECRP’, to coincide with a run of dates starting tonight (June 25).Following on from her trap-inspired album ‘The Collective’ earlier this year, Gordon’s new one-off single is a noisy, experimental affair that speaks of “rumours of free speech” and “ashes on the nightstand”.The video, meanwhile, was directed by Gordon’s daughter Coco Gordon Moore and features various shots of New York street scenes.Check out ‘ECRP’ below.Gordon plays London’s Koko tonight, kicking off a European tour, and will head to Birmingham for a gig at the O2 Institute2. The tour also includes various festival appearances at the likes of Glastonbury, Open’er and Roskilde.In a four-star review of ‘The Collective’, NME wrote: “Here the 70-year-old balances her less than commercial sensibilities with crunchily on-trend production and relatable lyrics about rotten capitalism and fragile masculinity – if these sound like themes she explored during Sonic Youth’s ‘90s heyday, it only goes to show how little has changed.”“It’s notable, though, how contemporary her distorted art-punk sounds, given the ongoing grunge resurgence and the fact that Olivia Rodrigo’s taking The Breeders on tour this year.

Love Island will not air at 9pm tonight in an extremely rare move - with viewers warned not to tune in at the usual time.The popular show was shunted out of the slot it has occupied on ITV2 for nearly a decade, with music comedy Pitch Perfect 3 showing in its place.Tonight's action from the villa will air at the later time of 10pm instead and end at 11.05pm.The culprit, as so often in TV schedule shake-ups is football, with England vs Slovenia's Euro 2024 game airing over on ITV1 from 6.45pm with kick-off live from Germany at 8pm.The move means that fans of both tournament football and Love Island will be able to watch both - and makes sure the dating show doesn't suffer a dip in ratings from viewers deciding to watch the Group C match instead. Other TV big-hitters affected tonight include Emmerdale, which will not air at all on Tuesday, and The One Show, which is on for just 20 minutes on BBC Two.
