Sleater-Kinney – “Here Today”

Sleater-Kinney – “Here Today”

Back in January, Sleater-Kinney released Little Rope, their 11th studio album and second recorded as the duo of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein. It’s about time for a deluxe version, and today, right on time, they’ve announced that it’s coming out this October. It’ll feature a handful of bonus tracks, including “Here Today,” which you can hear now.

Little Rope (Deluxe) also includes new songs “This Time” and “Nothing To Lose,” as well as a few live and “frayed” versions of songs on the original tracklist. The album was written in the wake of tragedy in Brownstein’s personal life, and while “Here Today” doesn’t explicitly reference loss, it does allude to the impermanence of things: “Mothers, children, lovers, friends/ We all belong to someone else,” Tucker sings over some beefy low-end guitars. “Here today and gone the next.” Listen to that and see the Little Rope (Deluxe) tracklist below.
