Entertain



Sleater-Kinney is a three-piece rock and roll combo from the wilds of

Portland, Oregon. They have paid their dues and left their mark, not

only in their native Pacific Northwest, but the world over. The dual and

dueling guitars and voices of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein have

produced 6 albums in the last 10 years. 4 albums and 7 years ago they

were joined by the fantastically insistent and inventive drumming of

Janet Weiss and Sleater-Kinney as we know it today was complete. But,

enough with the background already.



The Woods is the title of the new Sleater-Kinney album and it's their

seventh full-length release. It was produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming

Lips, Mercury Rev, Low) and reveals a very different side to the band.

Like many things with sevens on it, it features an itch, a need to try

new things. Sometimes people get scared by new things, which is one of

the reasons people are disappointing. This is to say that, like

Sleater-Kinney, you should not be afraid of new things: honest-to-god

guitar heroics/solos; new depth and heaviness to the songs; fuzzed out

lows cropping up in places formerly reserved for staccato highs. All of

this surrounding and infiltrating the constant in the Sleater-Kinney

program: three, breathing, playing as one with unfettered passion and

emotion. They want history, they want time, they want art, they want to

deal with culture, they have demands, they have needs, they have vision,

they have aspirations. And now they have The Woods. Luckily, so do we.
