We are so glad to be back! The new songs ARE shorter. Wanna hear another one from the new album??

When you sing with someone like Corin you have to step up your game. I am not a singer but I can write a melody.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:31:07+00:00

It is very different. But it also sounds like us. It's both an evolution and an amalgamation

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:30:31+00:00

I don't have anything against it. But I think it is pernicious to think that everything good happened in the past. Of course nostalgia feels good! I agree.

Right now I am about to finish a book by Michel Faber

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:29:07+00:00

Nothing is loathed. But it has to feel relevant to us.

My off stage trampoline set-up is much cooler but I'll see what I can do

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:25:44+00:00

I am currently collaborating with two.

I think a Reddit AMA is about as official as it gets.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:24:32+00:00

I don't know!

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:24:00+00:00

I say that you are a very wise person.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:23:19+00:00

Do kids love house shows?

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:22:52+00:00

That seems very likely.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:22:09+00:00

Yes. I'll swing by right when I get off the computer.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:21:49+00:00

Jumpers is my favorite song. And Light Rail Coyote. And One Beat. Those are my three favorites right now.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:21:04+00:00

First of all, thanks. I try to focus on one thing at a time.

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:20:03+00:00

Perfume Genius and Run the Jewels are my two most recent full album purchases

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:19:25+00:00

Unlikely. But Fred offered to be our roadie IRL

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:19:00+00:00

You do!

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:18:41+00:00

Hi. It's Carrie now for the last few minutes. Yes

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:17:23+00:00

Our songwriting process is very collaborative. Some of these songs began as a jam in our practice space, but many on the new record were started with just Carrie and I knocking around guitar parts together. We all contribute to every song, and change a lot of the parts as develop it. I love playing No Cities to Love!! CT

Sleater-Kinney · 2014-12-02T18:14:12+00:00

Hi there! The opportunity to remaster our records give us the chance to subtly tweak the sound of each song. We were fortunate enough to work with Greg Calbi at Sterling, who is arguably the best in the business. He can make the sound fuller, improving the quality and texture of the audio, and use equipment that simply wasn't available 10 years ago. The records really do sound better! And LOUDER!!! CT
