‘I’ve been down so long I pay rent to the floor’
LITTLE ROPE is out ioday.
All the mud and yuck of our lives and the sour sickness of grief is on this album. But so too is the desperation to latch onto whatever shiny moments we happen upon in life, to devour and feast on the love we’re given and return it twofold.
Thank you to my friend and bandmate @corintuckerband, who does the lion’s share of singing on this record, the most she’s done since the Dig Me Out days; she’s never sounded better. During the months when I felt dimmed and misshapen, I really needed to hear her voice. After all, it’s bigger than I am. Since we started this band when I was 20 and she was 22, @sleater_kinney is a world we built together that helps me feel less alone.
‘Don’t Feel Right’ is for my friends who kept reaching out when all I wanted was to disappear. Thanks for giving me a home to which I could return when the fog cleared.
I hope this album provides a means for the listener to get where they need to be: out, in, through, towards, away.
In memory of my mother, Eric, and my dog Cricket.

Sleater-Kinney have a new album out on January 19th called Little Rope.
It’s an album that’s very dear to me and I’m so excited to share the entirety of it soon.
It was produced by the amazing @congletonjohn, who’s also one of the best hangs and a perennial rascal.
For now, you can listen to the opening track, “Hell,” and watch the video, shot and directed @miss_ashcon—who was seven months pregnant at the time!—and starring @mirandajuly, two people who I adore immensely.
@yagurlsophia did the album photography and creative direction. Sophia is brilliant and kind, and it was an honor to work with her.
@sleater_kinney will embark on a worldwide tour for the album, some of those dates are now available for purchase. Can’t wait to see you at the shows! (More dates will be announced later).
Everything at the link in my bio. ❤️
Artist Presale: Wednesday, October 4 – 10AM Local
PW: LITTLEROPE
Public On Sale: Friday, October 6 – 10AM Local

Scoring on @damianlillard in N. Portland while taking a break from filming #Portlandia in 2017. Wishing this absolute superstar a fond farewell. Dame is an incredible person, and it was an honor to watch him play for the @trailblazers year after year. The @bucks and their fans are truly lucky. And we here in Portland were lucky too. Thanks for everything! Go get that ring! 🎥 #schuylertelleen
We are so excited to share “Say It Like You Mean It,” a track from Little Rope that is very close to our hearts. Thank you J. Smith-Cameron (@jsmithcameron) for her astounding performance in the video; she truly captured the desperation and ache in the song. We’re grateful she trusted us to lead her outside her comfort zone and into the world of music videos! J. was a joy to work with and to spend time with in Portland.
You can watch the video, stream, and pre-order our new album Little Rope (out Jan 19) at the link in bio.
A shout out to our amazing crew, the firebrand that is @desertislandstudiospdx, and the generous folks at @damerestaurant for making this happen. Thanks also to Dame chef @patrickmckee for providing delicious food for our on-camera diners. And special thanks to the immensely talented Karen Murphy, who, as usual, wore multiple hats, all of them gracefully.
Sincerest love and thanks to the incredible background actors for this shoot, many of them friends and neighbors: @bonagisebe, @wanfen16, @celinefauve, @ipsenpdx, @lorrenlowrey, @cmmilner, @damecollective, @dustinationunknown, @birdinhandpdx, @kvetkasanchez, @anatoles, @corey4scho, @asonhiskyheart, @kristinlsolomon, @michalyns, @williamtangcinema, Ann Taylor & @carrie_eliza

Loved getting to play “Say It Like You Mean It” on @jimmykimmellive. And love always to @toko__okot @harkathon and @angie_boylan for being part of @sleater_kinney. Entire performance available on YouTube.
Happy New Year! Excited to share another track from the upcoming @sleater_kinney record. ‘Untidy Creature’ was the first song we wrote for Little Rope, although we didn’t know it at the time; we weren’t certain we were even working on another record. We also worried it had come too easy, the song features two elements that come very naturally to Sleater-Kinney: a big guitar riff, an even bigger vocal. But as the year wore on, and our choices and bodily autonomy shrank, our feeling about the song changed. It became a gift, somewhere to put our darkest fears, and our deepest hopes. Untidy Creature became the album closer, and one of our favorites songs to ever occupy that position.
For the video, we wanted imagery that spoke to the themes which permeate Little Rope: uncertainty, restlessness, urgency, all of the in-between and discomfiting states with which we’re forced to reckon.
Thanks to the amazing Amber Bourke (@amberofthesea), a free diving champion and record holder, who traded the deep sea for shallow waters. And @nickpollet, who shot, edited, and color-corrected the video. Thanks also to Jon Povey for letting us use his bathtub.
NOTE: The stunts in this video were performed by trained professionals. Do not try this at home.
