Fittingly, Courtney Love picked a pair of kindred spirits to grace the cover of Hole’s new album, Nobody’s Daughter (out April 27): persecuted queens Marie Antoinette and Anne Boleyn. Check out the album art below.
Love — who also released the album’s tracklist (see below) — is on the cover of SPIN’s March issue. And Hole played their first U.S. gig in more than a decade at SPIN’s party at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, Texas, for SXSW last week. Read a full review here and see photos from the gig here.
As the album’s lead single “Skinny Little Bitch” proves, the revamped Hole — also featuring 23-year-old Brit guitarist Micko Larkin, bassist Shawn Dailey, and drummer Stuart Fisher — are returning to Love’s alt-rock roots with Nobody’s Daughter. And Love, who began working on the album during a 2005 rehab stint, has high hopes for the upcoming release.
“One time, Frances [Bean, her daughter with Kurt Cobain] was being mean and said, ‘What are you going to do if the record fails?'” Love told SPIN’s Phoebe Reilly, “‘Well, Frances, it can’t fail because I love it, and I’ve worked really hard to make sure that I love it.'”
