The first track from the forthcoming Sleater-Kinney album produced by St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark) has finally arrived.
It was an insane DREAM COME TRUE to work with the women of @Sleater_Kinney on their new music. https://t.co/YByEnRjAik pic.twitter.com/pVf00u5M6q

The new track, “Hurry On Home”, arrived along with an iPhone-stylized lyric video directed by Miranda July. The track begins with a gospel vocal swell before dropping into the band’s characteristically emotive gritty rock drive. St. Vincent’s surreal sonics are also apparent throughout the song, providing the first peek at the fruits of this high-powered collaboration. You can find the new Sleater-Kinney track on the streaming service of your choice here or give it a listen below:

The new project marks Sleater-Kinney’s first studio album since their 2015 comeback LP, No Cities to Love. The trio, comprised of Corin Tucker, Janet Weiss, and Carrie Brownstein, reformed in 2014 following a nearly decade-long hiatus, during which Brownstein earned a new name for herself in the comedy world for her work on Portlandia with Fred Armisen.
In addition to releasing the new single, the band announced a number of tour dates that will keep them on the road throughout much of this coming October and November. You can check out a full list of Sleater-Kinney’s upcoming tour dates below or head to the band’s website for more information.
