Now a duo of Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, indie rock band Sleater-Kinney will release their tenth studio album next January. "Little Rope" was written in a place of mourning and meditation of personal loss and political unease. In the fall of 2022, Brownsteins mom and stepfather were killed in a car accident while vacationing in Italy. In the months that followed, Brownstein found comfort in returning to playing guitar for hours on end, attracted to the tangibility of the instrument. I just need to feel my fingers on something that was solid, she says. When people leave this Earth, you are aware of what is still here, and what is tactile versus what youll never touch again.
In this extended interview, Brownstein and Tucker sat down in Los Angeles with The AP's Maria Sherman to talk about processing grief through music, the "push and pull" of songwriting and recording, and the evolution of the album's ten songs.
