Sleater-Kinney
Little Rope
Loma Vista
Released 01/19/24
Sleater-Kinney have released their eleventh studio album Little Rope, the follow-up to 2021’s Path of Wellness. Produced by John Congelton (Explosions in the Sky, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent) and recorded at Portland’s Flora Recording & Playback studio, the album is preceded by a trio of official singles (“Hell,” “Say It Like You Mean It” and “Untidy Creature”) and their accompanying videos.
"I think because we did make a pandemic album before this one, perhaps we got that insular, isolating sound out of the way,” Carrie Brownstein recently explained to Bruce Headlam of the Broken Record podcast. “With this one, I think we were recommitting to the band, which, to me, is almost an act you have to do with each album...recommit to the need, recommit to the making and doing of music, and find necessity in it, find intention and purpose.”
To support the album’s release, Brownstein and bandmate Corin Tucker are set to hit the road for a North American tour that commences February 28th in San Diego and concludes April 5th in their hometown of Portland.
