“It was liberating to explore a different palette”
Sleater-Kinney have unveiled their long-awaited new single ‘Hurry On Home’, produced by St Vincent. Check it out below.
The rock icons revealed that they’d been in the studio with St Vincent’s Annie Clark earlier this year. Now after teasing fans on social media, the band have shared their first new music since 2015’s acclaimed ‘No Cities To Love‘ with ‘Hurry On Home’ and a new lyric video directed by Miranda July.
“I think for Carrie and Corin it was liberating to explore a different sound palette,” said drummer Janet Weiss of new music, with singer Carrie Brownstein adding: “Instead of just going into the studio to document what we’d done, we were going in to explore and to find the essence of something. To dig in deeper.”
Guitarist Corin Tucker said that the new music“was like this manic energy of empowerment.”
The news of the studio collaboration comes after St. Vincent covered Sleater-Kinney’s ‘Modern Girl’ last year, having previously collaborated with Carrie Brownstein in a series of comedy clips that featured Clark fielding common interview questions to promote the acclaimed ‘MASSEDUCTION‘.
Earlier this year it also emerged that St. Vincent and Carrie Brownstein have written a comedy concert film together, which will see the pair portray exaggerated versions of themselves.
Although the project sounds like it could be a David Brent-esque spoof, an unnamed studio source told Stereogum that it “isn’t a ‘mockumentary,’ as Collider first reported, but rather, a scripted film that was to have been shot like a documentary.”
The band have also announced US tour dates. See full details below, with tickets on sale from 10am on June 14.
