Sleater-Kinney have announced their next album: Little Rope will be out on January 19, 2024 via Loma Vista. John Congleton produced the follow-up to 2021’s Path of Wellness, which was recorded at Flora Recording and Playback in Portland, Oregon. Lead single ‘Hell’ arrives today with a music video directed by Ashley Connor and starring Miranda July. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below, along with the band’s upcoming tour dates.
Little Rope was partially inspired by the death of Carrie Brownstein’s mother and stepfather in a car accident while vacationing in Italy. “As Brownstein and Tucker moved through the early aftermath of the tragedy, elements of what was to become the emotional backbone of Little Rope began to form – how we navigate grief, who we navigate it with, and the ways it transforms us,” a press release explains.
“I don’t think I’ve played guitar that much since my teens or early twenties,” Brownstein said in a statement. “Literally moving my fingers across the fretboard for hours on end to remind myself I was still capable of basic motor skills, of movement, of existing.”
