�How does brokenness walk? Or move through the world?� says guitarist/vocalist Carrie Brownstein about The Center Won�t Hold, Sleater-Kinney�s tenth studio album. �We�re always mixing the personal and the political but on this record, despite obviously thinking so much about politics, we were really thinking about the person � ourselves or versions of ourselves or iterations of depression or loneliness � in the middle of the chaos.� The Center Won�t Hold is Sleater-Kinney�s midnight record on the doomsday clock. After twenty-five years of legendary collaboration, rock�n�roll giants Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss rise to meet the moment by digging deeper and sounding bigger than we�ve heard them yet. Here are intimate battle cries. Here are shattered songs for the shattered survivors. The Center Won�t Hold drops you into the world of catastrophe that touches on the election,� says guitarist/vocalist Tucker of the title track. �We�re not taking it easy on the audience. That song is meant to be really heavy and dark. And almost like a mission statement, at the end of that song, it�s like we�re finding our way out of that space by becoming a rock band.�
