Sleater-Kinney have released their new single ‘Hurry On Home’, the first new music from the celebrated band since their 2015 album, ‘No Cities To Love’. After years of legendary collaboration, rock’n’roll giants Carrie Brownstein (guitar/vocals), Corin Tucker (guitar/vocals) and Janet Weiss (drums) sound bigger and bolder than ever.  The new track was produced by Annie Clark (St. Vincent) and is the first hint of more eagerly anticipated new music on the horizon.

‘Hurry On Home’ is a riveting addition to Sleater-Kinney’s undeniably intoxicating sound. A blood-tingling riff weaves elastic grooves through a punchy drum beat while scorching guitars demolish your eardrums with their intricate and slinky manner. Sweltering and gritty – this track presents this trios consuming sound in all its glory. The powerful vocals straddle the catchy melody as lush layered backing vocals add a dramatic quality to the track. The frantic soundscape is pierced by shrilling guitar whines and jagged electronics as the band layer the track in quirky sounds and vocal injections. This electrifying track showcases the refined kinetic and dominant sound of Sleater-Kinney- it is simply mesmerising.

On the new music, the band comments; “I think for Carrie and Corin it was liberating to explore a different sound palette,” says Weiss.  Brownstein adds, “Instead of just going into the studio to document what we’d done, we were going in to explore and to find the essence of something.  To dig in deeper.” Tucker says working on the new music “was like this manic energy of empowerment.”
