Sleater-Kinney Confirms New Album 'No Cities To Love' And 2015 Tour

Sleater-Kinney is back! After an indefinite hiatus, some recent teases and a few major hints, the band announced that Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss will release a new album, "No Cities to Love," on Jan. 20, via Sub Pop. Sleater-Kinney will also go on a 13-date tour in 2015, starting in their home state, Washington.

The first single, "Bury Our Friends," is already out with a lyric video featuring Miranda July (check it out below). It lives up to Sleater-Kinney's legacy of hard guitar riffs and lyrics you just want to chant. The song also appears on "Start Together," the band's career-spanning vinyl box set, which contains a 44-page booklet of photos.

"No Cities to Love" was secretly recorded in San Francisco's Tiny Telephone Recordings and was produced by John Goodmanson, who worked on Sleater-Kinney's past four albums. "We sound possessed on these songs," Brownstein said in a statement. "Willing it all -- the entire weight of the band and what it means to us -- back into existence." She also spoke about the new music at length in an email to NPR. "Sleater-Kinney isn't something you can do half-assed or half-heartedly," she wrote. "We have to really want it."
