Post Description

This live album, consisting mostly of late-career highlights, emphasizes what Sleater-Kinney does best: playing not just with urgent feeling, but in service of immense meaning. In the recently released video for “Surface Envy,” there’s a “stop Bush” sign in the background of one of the many live performances that comprise the clip. Written about their reunion after about eight years apart, “Surface Envy” is the story of Sleater-Kinney in that it is the story of bands—groups of people, really—that attempt to go against the grain: “We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules,” goes the chorus. So while  the No Cities to Love standout is not about “the system” per se, it is one of the best fight songs they’ve ever written—a fact underscored by the pummeling version that appears on their new live album
