Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love album flac

No Cities to Love is the eighth studio album by American rock band Sleater-Kinney, released on January 20, 2015, through Sub Pop. It is the first album following a decade-long hiatus and the band's 2005 release, The Woods. The album received universal acclaim from music critics and was listed on several "Best Albums of 2015" lists. The album was recorded in secret mostly at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco, with additional sessions at Electrokitty in Seattle and Kung Fu Bakery in Portland

Sleater-Kinney began work on No Cities in earnest around May 2012, they have said, but especially on the anthemic title track and "Hey Darling"-the first two songs they wrote-you can hear echoes of that decade of pause, an airing out of just why. The titular phrase is abstract enough, but considering Brownstein's vocal incompatibility with the van-show-van-show tour-life void-and her lines, here, about "a ritual of emptiness"-it plays like a direct take on the complicated reality of the rootless rock band and its scattered tribe.

The character in that song has made a ritual out of seeking structures and people in which to find strength, yet they keep coming up empty. No Cities to Love" Track Info.

Listening to No Cities To Love, the eighth album by Sleater-Kinney, has to be done with one thing in mind: Sleater-Kinney did not have to make this album. That's not meant in a idol-worshipping, "we're not worthy" way, but quite literally. Sleater-Kinney have always been a band about conquering fear from sources both internal and external, and it is with a triumphant cry that, on No Cities to Love, they still are. Like all comeback records, No Cities to love arrives with breathless anticipation and ridiculously high expectations. If this record had come out in the winter of 2013 alongside m b v and The Next Day, they probably would have, with all due respect to Mrs. Kardashian West, broken the internet.

No Cities To Love finds the trio facing inwards, rocking out in a tight space, writing short and punchy punk songs and just generally enjoying bouncing off each other once more. No doubt, it's a sophisticated work, just like everything else in Sleater Kinney's past-the two-punch guitar attack of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein is still as dynamic as it ever was-and the album still retains the defiant spirit of punk feminism that characterized their early works. But this album does nothing more than reaffirm strengths that were established 15 years ago, and the melodies are for the most part generic pop melodies that sound too radio-friendly to be Sleater-Kinney. I'm not saying this album had to be a follow-up to The Woods, but damn this is boring.

Sleater-Kinney are iconic, said Lena Dunham to Rolling Stone last year, ensuring that the Portland-based trio and riot grrrl torchbearers could come hurtling back into orbit after a decade-long hiatus without missing a beat. Their reappearance in January wasn’t a reunion, they said, with all those cynical connotations of lacklustre former anthems played by people who can’t stand each other but see the dollar signs in neon lights ahead. And so they made a new album. The story goes that two of the trio, Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, were watching an episode of Portlandia together, the comedy sketch show that Brownstein created with SNL’s Fred Armisen. When the question of whether they would make music together again came up, Tucker’s husband Lance Bangs and Armisen looked hopeful. I was Sleater-Kinney’s biggest fan, Armisen told Rolling Stone.
