The Anticipation for Little Rope

This album marks another milestone in Sleater-Kinney’s illustrious career, which began in the mid-90s as part of the Riot Grrrl movement. Their music evolved over the years while maintaining its raw, punk-rock essence.

Carrie Brownstein, a musician, director, and actress, showcased her multifaceted skills by directing the music video for “Say It Like You Mean It.” The video features J. Smith-Cameron, renowned for her role in the critically acclaimed series “Succession.” The band also released the music video for “Hell” earlier this year.
