Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney's new St. Vincent-produced album is titled 'The Center Won't Hold'

In January, Sleater-Kinney revealed they had a new album, produced by St. Vincent in the works, and while Corin Tucker has recently been busy on tour with Filthy Friends, they followed that news with Sleater-Kinney’s first tour date of 2019, Hopscotch Festival. Now we have another bit of information about the new album: its title, The Center Won’t Hold.

Stereogum reports that some users of the indieheads subreddit found the information on Mom + Pop’s bio of the band, which has been updated for the new record and mentions a new single called “Hurry on Home.”

UPDATE: Sleater-Kinney’s site has also been updated with a new animation featuring the photo of the band above and the words “UNFUCKABLE,” “UNLOVABLE” and “UNLISTENABLE.”

There’s still no release date to be seen, but the bio does quote Corin on the album’s title track:

“The Center Won’t Hold drops you into the world of catastrophe that touches on the election,” says guitarist/vocalist Tucker of the title track. “We’re not taking it easy on the audience. That song is meant to be really heavy and dark. And almost like a mission statement, at the end of that song, it’s like we’re finding our way out of that space by becoming a rock band.”
