Sleater-Kinney’s 2019 album The Center Will Not Hold attempted to modernize the band’s sound by, for one, enlisting St. Vincent as producer. Following the departure of drummer Janet Weiss, remaining members Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein’s self-produced follow-up, Path of Wellness, felt like a course correction—more in line with their established sound, if lacking the grit that characterized the band’s early efforts.
Little Rope leans even more toward hard rock, with an emphasis on dynamics. It’s an approach that’s apparent from the opening “Hell,” whose desolate musings—“Hell is just a signpost when you take a certain path”—are delivered almost a cappella. Guitar feedback swirls ominously, mostly on the first beat of each bar, highlighting the confusion and upset of the lyrics.

“I honestly just needed to hear Corin sing.”
Carrie Brownstein was headed into a studio in Los Angeles last fall when her friend and longtime Sleater-Kinney bandmate Corin Tucker called to give her the name and number of someone at the U.S. Embassy in Italy. The embassy had been urgently trying to contact Brownstein and her sister for a few days, but neither had current phone numbers attached to their passports, and since Tucker is listed as Brownstein’s emergency contact, the embassy got ahold of her.

The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" musical episode rules. This was true when it debuted in 2001 and it's still true today, despite the ambivalence that now comes with being a "Buffy" fan in light of series creator Joss Whedon's extensively documented bad behavior. It took me a few years after allegations against Whedon dropped to find my way back to one of my favorite shows of all time -- and untangle the impression it had on me from the misdeeds of the artist most closely connected to it. But as Jamie Gerber pointed out in a 2022 /Film piece, there's a tremendous amount of talent worth celebrating associated with the show, from writers like Marti Noxon and Drew Goddard to performers like Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter.
"Once More, With Feeling" is, in many ways, a showcase for what the show's performers can do. Like most of "Buffy" it's remembered for its snappy writing,...

In the 1975 musical comedy horror "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a recently engaged couple, Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) and Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick), seeks help at a nearby castle after their car breaks down on a dark, rainy night. The castle belongs to Dr. Frank-n-Furter, a mad scientist and flamboyant "transvestite" (his words) who's in the middle of throwing a lively celebration called the Annual Transylvanian Convention. Dr. Frank-n-Furter invites the couple to spend the night and shows them his "favorite obsession," his creation of Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood), an artificially made muscle-bound man with blond hair and gold undies. Trapped in the castle, the naïve couple's relationship is tested by Dr. Frank-n-Furter's antics. The movie is a parodic homage to the sci-fi and campy horror films that came before it.
In his breakout movie role, Tim Curry plays Dr. Frank-n-Furter. Almost a half-century later, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show...

In “Showing Up,” Michelle Williams stars as Lizzy, a Portland-based sculptor for whom little seems to go right in the week leading up to a big solo show. Kelly Reichardt’s latest film takes us to modern-day Portland for a playful comedy about the realities of visual artists.
As Lizzy, Williams is frazzled and grumpy, stern and flustered. She meets compliments with a downcast gaze, doubtful, perhaps, that she’s worthy of them. She lives alone with a very good bad cat, working on figurines of young women, while her colleagues drink and hang out during their off-hours.
As a day job, she works at an arts college she once attended as an assistant to her mother, who she must ask for days off to work on her art, while her father (the great Judd Hirsch) entertains guests he barely knows. Her brother Sean lives a sheltered life on his own,...

Sleater-Kinney were the musical guests on Wednesday night’s Late Show, performing the song “Worry With You” from their new album Path of Wellness.
Although some late-night music acts have now opted to play in front of a live studio audience, as in pre-Covid-10 times, the band chose to do a pre-taped performance in what looked like an abandoned skateboard park (or a drained pool). “Let’s get lost baby/And take a wrong turn,” Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker sang while trading off guitar parts. “That’s the life,...

Sleater-Kinney are back to their old tricks, which means trying out some new tricks. The Pacific Northwest punks grabbed the world’s imagination with the 1996 riot-grrrl bombshell Call the Doctor, but ever since, they’ve refused to repeat themselves. Everything about their new album is outside their zone, starting with the title: Path of Wellness. It’s the first album they’ve made as a duo—the band is down to Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, after a painful and public split with longtime drummer Janet Weiss.

Sleater-Kinney have released a new song, “Method,” from their upcoming album, Path of Wellness, out this Friday, June 11th via Mom + Pop.
The track has a kind of mellow feel as the guitars and bass twist around each other under a steady drum shuffle, but the song occasionally swells to something a bit more ragged. “I know, I’m singing about love,” Carrie Brownstein pleads on the chorus, “I’m sorry, I’m singing about love/And it sounds like hate/It’s too late to sing about love.”

Sleater-Kinney have put out their first new single in over a year, “Worry With You.” The song is the band’s first release from their just-announced tenth studio album, Path of Wellness, out June 11th via Mom+Pop.
“Worry With You” comes with a music video, directed by Alberta Poon, that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s been stuck in quarantine with their significant other over the past year. A young couple (played by Fabi Reyna and Megan Watson) struggle to find happiness in their tiny house without getting on each other’s nerves.

Starting with her debut River of Grass (1994), Kelly Reichardt managed to capture, using her unique and particular style of patience, the underlying issues of the U.S. identity, using non-flamboyant narratives of the quotidian to explore the inner and physical travels of the characters, on this long, exhausting journey known as capitalism.Her latest film, First Cow, is a slow-pace buddy anti-western in which two loner misfits (John Magaro and Orion Lee) and a cow (Eve) cross each other’s paths searching for a better life through milk theft and entrepreneurship in 18th century Oregon. This simple plot idea is the starting point for Reichardt, who makes use of her magnificent abilities—such as the sublime handling of arid comedy, her particular and empathetic sensibility, and her power to convert the most austere narrative, cinematographic or physical gesture into a blunt expression—to turn this almost anecdotal story of two...

With the help of a backing band, band members Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker gave the song an upbeat but edgy vibe. “Everyone I know is funny,” Brownstein yelps. “But jokes don’t make us money/ Sell our rage, buy and trade/ But we still cry for free every day.”

Sleater-Kinney have released the intense standalone single “Animal” before heading out on tour next week in support of their new album The Center Won’t Hold.
“Animal” stands alone from the LP, but features much of the same urgency and vitality as their latest album. The song celebrates unfiltered, unabashed anger as the lyrics respond to an unclear emotional rejection. They proclaim: “Do you see my face?/Don’t you look away/In your final hour/I will watch you fade/I am the mess you made.”

Sleater-Kinney deliver the goods almost immediately on their new LP, on a title track that begins with industrial clangs, then explodes into rock fury rivaling anything in their catalog, a barrage of Nevermind-grade guitar blasts pacing Corin Tucker’s cathartic, paint-peeling howls. She paraphrases the famous “Things fall apart, the center cannot hold” line from Yeats’ “The Second Coming.” Tucker might be describing a psyche, a relationship, or planetary climate change: Pick your nearly lost cause.

But this year the fest’s star-spangled lineup, one of its most diverse in recent memory and the most gender-balanced ever, did full justice to the plurality and collective spirit of the folk tradition. Newport’s main stage was packed with women on Saturday, for an all-female collaboration curated by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile. “Thank you for being on the right side of history again,” she said, before inviting up first-time Newport act and living country-music legend Dolly Parton.

“The Center Won’t Hold,” like the record itself, is produced by St. Vincent, who helps guide the band down a dark, post-modern path. For its first two-thirds, the song plods through banging pots and pans, electric guitar fuzz and Carrie Brownstein’s jagged vocals.
