Kim Deal inspires Berlin: an unforgettable solo concert!

Columbia-Theater, Berlin, Deutschland - On June 23, 2025, Kim Deal, the former bassist of the iconic indie rock band Pixies, performed in the Berlin Columbia Theater to present her solo debut "Nobody Loves You More". The concert was not only a highlight for the approximately 500 participating fans, but also the only stop at Germany of her tour that she will lead to some festivals after this evening.

Kim Deal, now in his mid -60s and with an impressive stage experience of almost 40 years, published her first solo album with “Nobody Loves You More” at the end of 2024. The title of the album is of particular importance for you and represents a personal triumph after working on it for over a decade. During the concert, she showed a noticeable joy in her music and combined songs from the new album, some pieces by The Breeders and a cover of a pixia song.

diverse musical styles

The album "Nobody Loves You More", published on November 22, 2024 under the Label 4AD, contains a multi-layered mix of indie rock, folk, country, grunge and noise rock. Deal wrote all songs himself, including the title track "Nobody Loves You More", which is a homage to love and a last collaboration with her late friend Steve Albini. The music is supplemented by a variety of instruments, which also include brass -based arrangements that add the characteristic sound of their earlier work.

The first single from the album, "Coast", is described as a lively story that deals with personal experiences, including their own fights with addiction problems in the late 90s. The mixture of trombone and trumpet gives the song a nostalgic note, while deals are slowed down in a few moments - a tribute to her cover version of Chris Bell's "You and Your Sister". The song "Are You Mine?" is inspired by a moment with her mother who is suffering from Alzheimer and presents sensitive doo-wop elements. PitchFork reports .
