Sleater-Kinney‘s new album Little Rope is out in January and the band have just shared its new single, “Say it Like You Mean It.” It’s a grinding, methodical stomper where Corin Tucker wails, detailing the messy end of a relationship.
The video was directed by Corin’s bandmate Carrie Brownstein and stars J. Smith-Cameron, who played Gerri on Succession. She lip-syncs as the song’s main character, who becomes more desperate as it progresses. “The video tells the story of a woman who’s lost all sense of what’s appropriate,” Brownstein explains. “Sick with the alienation that stems from existing in a disparate emotional state from the person or people closest to her, she grapples with debilitating loss, desires to be seen, and dares you to leave.” You can watch that below.
Little Rope is out January 19 via Loma Vista and Sleater-Kinney have a couple festival appearances this month, playing Pitchfork London this weekend and Mexico City’s Corona Capital next weekend. Their 2024 tour includes three NYC shows: Brooklyn Steel on March 13 & 14 (tickets) and Racket on March 16 (sold out). All dates are listed below.
