- Now a duo of Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, indie rock band Sleater-Kinney will release their tenth studio album next January. "Little Rope" was written in a place of mourning and meditation - of personal loss and political unease. In the fall of 2022, Brownstein’s mom and stepfather were killed in a car accident while vacationing in Italy. In the months that followed, Brownstein found comfort in returning to playing guitar for hours on end, attracted to the tangibility of the instrument. “I just need to feel my fingers on something that was solid,” she says. “When people leave this Earth, you are aware of what is still here, and what is tactile versus what you’ll never touch again.”
In this extended interview, Brownstein and Tucker sat down in Los Angeles with The AP's Maria Sherman to talk about processing grief through music, the "push and pull" of songwriting and recording, and the evolution of the album's ten songs.

What a great interview. It's so free of the usual fluff and just fully dives into their art with a seriousness that it deserves. As a long time fan I feel like they are back to full power. Their records always made the hair on my neck stand up. So strange but it was consistent and we are lucky to have such powerful artists making such vital work in our lifetimes.
My favorite band!
Really talented, creative artists
great band !
Eventually I will listen but will look out for the concert. Next few months.
Love it 👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤ love you two
I absolutely love that they joined forces with Congleton for this record. They work well together.
The new single is a great fuzzy kick to the face
Soon as corin played the new Les Paul. Saved me. Those new Les Paul’s are great guitars I think 🤔. No joke.
Interesting interview but I wish someone had bothered fixing some of the audio issues (the rustling is intense when listening with headphones) and the youtube chapters that don't match up with the video at all....
Immediately you know it all makes sense soon as they say: guitar. 🎸
I got itchy back. When the back gets better.
Go ahead! Kiss! (You know you want to!)
I'm horrible!!
Sorry!
(But, please DO smooch each other once again!)
Don't watch Bjork's "Dancer In The Dark" movie
(It will break your heart!)
No! (it really will!)
The did Janet wrong.
What happened to Janet?
i thought she left on her own account?
What they did to her??
She did.
I still can’t believe how dismissive these two were with regard to Janet Weiss. It’s particularly disappointing when they try to impress as very thoughtful and considerate people.
25:21 holy body language change batman
she grabbed her arm before that, at the end of the previous segment
People are reading way too much into the split. Carrie and Corin were always the songwriters and band leader. Janet didn’t like the direction they were going in and wanted to split. It’s not that big a deal y’all.
@@TF-vb9us I’m aware, thanks
100 percent. @@TF-vb9us
it’s a shame what they did to janet
What they did to janet????
@@ubu2315 They murdered her and made it look like an accident!
@@jorgepacheco9845 WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY MURDERED HER
Janet has all her publishing credits from S-K, but being in a band that tours means you go touring. Look at her recent work, she is still drumming but doesn't want to tour. That's a legit decision every musician makes over and over, life doesn't always allow it, the artist doesn't always want it. Quite frankly, as one of the greatest drummers ever, Janet can pick her projects and do whatever she wants
This band needs a bass player, and also new toons, after a while in a concert whatever, it gets bored. Just telling the truth.
No Janet, not interested
From what I've heard of the latest, this is all talk, talk, talking about me, me incessantly. Ah, where's Janet? It's a whole new band and has been for some time, and fair enough - but there is nothing to be excited about the new record, there are no boundaries being pushed other than a belief that WE MATTER - and to some sort of fringe activist movement, they do - but the drummer is no longer in the band which makes them not the same band - sonically. They allow their egos to be stroked by the NPR and the New Yorker set - and bask in this clique, but this has NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUTH AND PUNK ROCK. It's all ego and preaching to their tribe - the very opposite of punk or even girrrrl rock. I wish they'd just pack it in and write a blog or something - or run for office.
Have you listened to the new lp?
I hope I can find the resources for a Portland ticket before they sell out, if they haven't already. 🪖Sorry for your loss Carrie. 😞
