Lost Angeles

California is often seen as a place of sunshine and opportunity, but for Kim Gordon, it's a complex and multifaceted city. In her 2015 autobiography, 'Girl in a Band,' she writes, 'California is a place of death, a place people are drawn to because they don’t realize deep down they’re actually afraid of what they want.'

As a native Angeleno, Gordon has a unique perspective on the city. On a recent tour of her hometown, she shared her thoughts on her past and her present, revealing a more introspective and creative side.
