Sleater-Kinney makes their return with the release of the official music video for their hit single “Can I Go On.” The concept for the “Can I Go On” video was written by Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein; it was directed and filmed by Ashley Connor, a long-time friend of the band, and stars Lauri Guzda and Mami Kimura. When speaking to Carrie about the concept behind the video she explains, “Within the broader thematic context of The Center Won't Hold album, we wanted the video to speak to an existence that has been fractured and frayed by age or by loss, by divisive politics, by trauma or depression. We aimed to showcase the female body as a place of resistance, to explore how much it can withstand trespass, sorrow, and chaos. The body, then, becomes a site of transformation, repurposing invisible wounds and wear into kinetic energy and power. The women in the video display modes of strength and joy in ways we do not traditionally see."
Check out the official music video below and be sure to catch the band as they head out on their 2019 Fall Tour. Dates/Tickets below.
