I'm tired of a world without Sleater-Kinney

Non-contribution: I liked Neskowin off Corin's last solo record more than most SK songs. It's my #4 most played song on iTunes. The kind of song that drew me to them but with none of the "This Is An Important Band" baggage that became overwhelming after they broke up.

Can't hardly listen to The Woods anymore. Go back to Hot Rock a lot.

Also, Start Together and Quarter to Three are perfect.

So glad the world has Sleater-Kinney in it again!

Just now, on FB:

Sleater-Kinney. Produced by St. Vincent. 2019.

this....hmmm.

the promo photo going around with that makes it seem like no one in S-K is happy about it.

tbf St-V's records don't sound that good so I'm not that excited about this (yet)

Always nice to hear about another S-K record. But outside of Jeff Lynne, I'm not sure there's a producer whose sound I like less.

otm, sadly

the replies to the tweet were all basically YASS KWEENS SLAY and my response is basically =|

St-V records have been produced by John Congleton, except the last one (Congleton and Antonoff and somebody else) and the acoustic re-imagining of the last one (St. V and Thomas Bartlett) and at this point I think she probably is equipped to be herself as good or better a producer as any of her producers

sent to a friend earlier: "I mean eno/byrne works so I guess. It does kinda sniff of “all my new famous friends” but idk. I can’t say anything bad about any of them"

SK are a strong enough band to shine through whatever production they choose, so i'm happy they're making another record. hopefully it's as good as the last one

I kind of would like them to aim a little higher (haven't felt the desire to listen to No Cities since the reunion tour).

No Cities has been a surprisingly fitting soundtrack to the Trump years.

Maybe she'll be their Daniel Lanois. (Which I'm not even sure if I mean as a good or bad thing.)

I wanna be your Daniel Lanois
put reverb on everything, make it sound like gauze

I like St. Vincent best when she's rocking out the aggro covers (Pop Group, Big Black) so I'm optimistic

agree with fgti here. not sure if i like that best as much as maybe "appreciate that bit the most." man i've never really thought about that feeling, when you look at an artist and think "i love that she goes _there_," rather than "this is what she does BEST"!

I saw her a bunch on the St. V tour and found myself looking forward to those covers extremely, the moment when she and her band go off-click and just rock out. "Like her best when she's" is accurate for my experience, but like, I think the contrast between her slaved-to-a-click main set and those aggro digressions is partially responsible for why I liked those moments so much

haven't felt the desire to listen to No Cities since the reunion tour

OK this was kind of dumb of me to say, as I listened just now and it was great -- "Fade" is kind of an SK metal song!

St. Vincent too fussy.

NSFW Tweet teasing... something

ITT: a butt

they're playing the Hopscotch Festival in Raleigh in September, hopefully the album will be out by then? (I'm not clicking that link)

i think it's teasing a new single

not a big st. vincent fan so was a bit worried but first single rules

could maybe do without the reverby yelps

this sounds very much like what i'd expect sleater-kinney produced by st. vincent to sound like

I like it! Never have really listened to St. Vincent, so to me it sounds like a less noisey The Woods.

otm xp

Missed this charity album track from '17 (not on youtube): https://open.spotify.com/album/3BEQvcAzhYWoYVu41ySTdd?si=dIHsWEd5Q724zQew6N6Yxg

I'm really digging this, and ufo otm. It's weird (but good) that there's so much bass in the mix, though, considering Janet said a few years ago, "That big bass sound that hits you in your gut is unpleasant!"

Really liking this

Miranda July! I always forget about her.

Liking this too! It feels like a logical progression from NCTL, dancey post-punk but this time with glossier production.

Fall US/Canada tour announced today too.

I never listen to No Cities to Love, but it's one of the better comebacks of recent years -- it's like they never left.

Yes. I’m happy for a world with Sleater-Kinney.

Pre-sale tix available now.

New Song!

"The Future Is Here"...a slower New Wave-y Corin track.

I take back the whole premise of this thread. Now I dream of a world without Sleater-Kinney.

So much older then...
