Free Kitten

The Profile

Free Kitten is a noise/experimental rock group formed in 1992 by Kim Gordon and Julie Cafritz, with contributions from Yoshimi P-We and Mark Ibold. Known as a noise supergroup, they released albums including Unboxed, Sentimental Education and the 2008 comeback Inherit.

Members have included Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Julie Cafritz (Pussy Galore), Yoshimi P-We (Boredoms) and Mark Ibold (Pavement). Inherit was released through Ecstatic Peace and features guest contributions (J Mascis is mentioned in reviews).

The reviews see Inherit as a softer, more mature evolution from Free Kitten's earlier lo-fi/noise work. They highlight contributions from Kim Gordon and Julie Cafritz, note longer, more expansive tracks, and single out songs such as "Free Kitten On The Mountain," "Seasick," and "Surf's Up." J Mascis is mentioned as a guest on the album.
