Sleater-Kinney release first new song in nine years “Bury Our Friends” — listen
Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss reunited on stage during a Pearl Jam concert back in December, leading many to speculate that Sleater-Kinney would be getting back together in 2014. There hasn’t been much movement on that front — until now.
The band’s new career-spanning box set, Start Together, includes an very exciting surprise in the form of a 7-inch single containing the band’s first new single in nine years. According to Stereogum, it’s titled “Bury Our Friends”. Listen to a short preview below.
Even more exciting, Wondering Sound has discovered artwork for a new Sleater-Kinney release called No Cities to Love. The 7-inch containing “Bury Our Friends” is marked with the date “1/20/15″. Put two and two together, and it certainly appears as if a new Sleater-Kinney album will be arriving in January.
Sleater-Kinney Return! New Album No Cities to Love! 2015 Tour! "Bury Our Friends" Lyric Video! First album in a decade due in January 2015
Sleater-Kinney are back! As anticipated, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss will release new album No Cities to Love on January 20 in the U.S. and January 19 internationally via Sub Pop. Watch the lyric video for new track "Bury Our Friends" below. It features director/artist/actress/author Miranda July, a longtime Sleater-Kinney collaborator. Download the song in exchange for an email address here.
The band is also heading out on tour in early 2015. Check out the dates below, along with the album tracklist. The deluxe vinyl version comes with an etched, single-sided 12" with two bonus tracks.
No Cities to Love was produced by John Goodmanson, who produced Call the Doctor, One Beat, Dig Me Out, and All Hands on the Bad One. In a press release, Brownstein said, "We sound possessed on these songs, willing it all - the entire weight of the band and what it means to us - back into existence."
This week, Sub Pop releases the discography box set Start Together. As previously reported, it contained a mysterious white 7" bearing the inscription "1/20/15." That turned out to be the album's release date; the song on the 7" is "Bury Our Friends".
Sleater-Kinney formed in Olympia, Washington in 1994. Singer-guitarists Brownstein (then of the band Excuse 17) and Tucker (of Heavens to Betsy) named Sleater-Kinney after a local road and released their self-titled debut album in 1995. Call The Doctor followed in 1996, and new drummer Janet Weiss (also of Quasi) joined the band for 1997's Dig Me Out.
Brownstein, Tucker, and Weiss went on to release 1999's The Hot Rock, 2000's All Hands on the Bad One, and 2002's One Beat until their last record, The Woods, arrived in 2005. The band broke up after a final tour in summer 2006. Last year, Sleater-Kinney reunited on stage for the first time since 2006 to cover Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" with their one-time tourmates, Pearl Jam.
In December, news broke that Janet Weiss and Carrie Brownstein's post-Sleater-Kinney band Wild Flag "ran its course." Weiss and Brownstein released one great record with Wild Flag, while Corin Tucker has released two solo records since 2006. Brownstein also launched herself to a more visible realm of fame with her sketch comedy show "Portlandia".
