Sleater-Kinney have returned with new standalone single "ANIMAL".
"ANIMAL" is Sleater-Kinney's first track following the release of their St. Vincent-produced album The Center Won't Hold.
The new single was recorded with their ex-drummer Janet Weiss, who departed the band in July.
Guitarist and vocalist Corin Tucker says of the new offering, ""ANIMAL" is a song about rebellion, retaliation and rage. It is a song about letting go of all politeness and filters and letting the 'animal' side speak. The vocals for this song were recorded in St. Vincent’s home studio, a perfect place to unleash a voice like this."
"ANIMAL" is out now via Mom + Pop Music. Sleater-Kinney will play London's O2 Academy Brixton on 26 February 2020. Find out more.
