Sleater-Kinney
“How does brokenness walk? Or move through the world?” says guitarist/vocalist Carrie Brownstein about The Center Won’t Hold, Sleater-Kinney’s ninth studio album. “We’re always mixing the personal and the political but on this record, despite obviously thinking so much about politics, we were really thinking about the person – ourselves or versions of ourselves or iterations of depression or loneliness – in the middle of the chaos.”
In 2021, Sleater-Kinney returned with their 10th studio album Path of Wellness. “Worry With You”, the first single off the entirely self-produced 11-track album, marks the first new music for the band since 2019. The next two album singles “High In The Grass” and “Method” followed in quick succession, feeding Sleater-Kinney’s eager fanbase. The fresh, new singles were met with great critical praise from the likes of The New York Times “The Playlist,” NPR Music’s “All Songs Considered” as well as Rolling Stone, FADER, Vulture, Stereogum and many more. On Path of Wellness., Rolling Stone wrote “...the beloved punk rockers sound born again” giving the album 4/5 stars.
