Sleater-Kinney Release New Audio & Visual EP 'Frayed Rope Sessions'

Sleater-Kinney release Frayed Rope Sessions, a new audio and visual EP featuring powerful, hair-raising reimagined versions of three songs from their recently released critically acclaimed new album, Little Rope.

The EP, recorded at Flora Recording in Portland, OR where they recorded Little Rope, was produced by John Goodmanson, who the band has been working with since the 90's. Its release coincides with International Women's Day and proceeds from Bandcamp sales will benefit Noise For Now, a national initiative that enables artists to financially support grassroots organizations that work in the field of Reproductive Justice, including abortion access.

Alongside the EP the band has also shared the video series “Little Rope Unraveled", where Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein discuss the inception and backstory of album stand-outs “Say It Like You Mean It,” “Hunt You Down” and “Untidy Creature.”

Sleater-Kinney, who additionally will be performing on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon next Friday 3/15, are currently on tour in support of Little Rope. Tour highlights include sold out shows in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Portland. All dates below.

Little Rope, Sleater-Kinney's eleventh studio album and first for Loma Vista, is one of the finest, most delicately layered records in the band's 30-year career. The album has received praise from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, Associated Press, Vulture, Paste Magazine, them, Consequence, Esquire, People Magazine, and American Songwriter, amongst many more.
