At the same time Sleater-Kinney were recording their latest full-length, Little Rope, they realized some of the songs would feel different with new lighting. So they recut them with producer John Goodmanson at Portland, Oregon’s Flora Recording. Three of those renditions make up the new EP, Frayed Rope Sessions, which came out today, International Women’s Day. The group will donate all net proceeds from sales of the EP via Bandcamp today to Noise for Now, an organization that helps provide resources for reproductive rights around the country.

On the heels of their January album Little Rope, Sleater-Kinney have returned to offer the Frayed Rope Sessions EP.
The three-track EP consists of reimagined versions of Little Rope tracks “Say It Like You Mean It,” “Hunt You Down,” and “Untidy Creature.” The release also coincides with International Women’s Day today (March 8th) — proceeds from Sleater-Kinney’s Bandcamp sales will benefit the reproductive justice organization Noise For Now.
In addition, Sleater-Kinney have released the video series “Little Rope Unraveled,” where the duo break down the three original tracks that appear on the Frayed Rope Sessions EP. Of the new release, Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker wrote in a statement, “We wanted to step back into these songs, reimagine and revisit them, both for ourselves and for the listener. The different arrangements expose the songs anew, getting at their core or the outer edges. Frayed Rope was a...

Sleater-Kinney’s 2019 album The Center Will Not Hold attempted to modernize the band’s sound by, for one, enlisting St. Vincent as producer. Following the departure of drummer Janet Weiss, remaining members Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein’s self-produced follow-up, Path of Wellness, felt like a course correction—more in line with their established sound, if lacking the grit that characterized the band’s early efforts.
Little Rope leans even more toward hard rock, with an emphasis on dynamics. It’s an approach that’s apparent from the opening “Hell,” whose desolate musings—“Hell is just a signpost when you take a certain path”—are delivered almost a cappella. Guitar feedback swirls ominously, mostly on the first beat of each bar, highlighting the confusion and upset of the lyrics. The song’s chorus serves as a cathartic, if ambiguous, release, with Tucker unleashing a mighty riot grrrl roar over thunderous...

Sleater-Kinney has released a new single, “Untidy Creature,” along with a music video for the track directed by Nick Pollet. The clip features Australian freediver Amber Bourke, who holds her breath in a bathtub for the duration of the introspective song.
On the track, the closing number on the band’s forthcoming 11th album, Little Rope, Corin Tucker sings, “But here’s too much here that’s unspoken/ And there’s no tomorrow in sight/ Could you love me if I was broken/ There’s no going back tonight.”

Riot grrrl outfit Sleater-Kinney took the stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, performing their new single “Say It Like You Mean It” with a little help from Fred Armisen.
As the band’s Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein jammed along, Brownstein’s old Portlandia costar Armisen emerged from stage right midway through the song, coyly shaking a tambourine. The unannounced appearance didn’t seem to affect the other performers, however: “Say it, say it/ Like you mean it,” Tucker continued belting over building synths and chugging guitar. “I need to hear it/ Before you go.”
“Say It Like You Mean It” is the latest single off of Sleater-Kinney’s upcoming album, Little Rope, which is set for release on January 19th. A follow-up to their lead single “Hell,” “Say It Like You Mean It” was released last month along with an accompanying music video starring Succession‘s J. Smith-Cameron.

Sleater-Kinney weren’t ready to say goodbye during their latest performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The rock duo delivered a soaring rendition of their latest single “Say It Like You Mean It,” which will appear on the forthcoming album Little Rope, out Jan. 19.

Sleater-Kinney are back with “Say It Like You Mean It,” another sample of their upcoming studio album Little Rope. The song also arrives with an accompanying music video starring Succession actor J. Smith-Cameron.
“Say It Like You Mean It” sees a more romantic side of Sleater-Kinney, driven by an almost pompous drum beat. It ruminates on the dissolution of a romantic relationship, and the frustration that arises when your ex-to-be just won’t give you a clean break: “Say it like you mean it/ I need to hear it before you go/ Say it like you mean it/ This goodbye hurts when you go,” Corin Tucker sings over a cinematic, sweeping instrumental, both swelling intensely like a pot that’s about to boil over.

“I honestly just needed to hear Corin sing.”
Carrie Brownstein was headed into a studio in Los Angeles last fall when her friend and longtime Sleater-Kinney bandmate Corin Tucker called to give her the name and number of someone at the U.S. Embassy in Italy. The embassy had been urgently trying to contact Brownstein and her sister for a few days, but neither had current phone numbers attached to their passports, and since Tucker is listed as Brownstein’s emergency contact, the embassy got ahold of her.

Sleater-Kinney have announced their 11th album, Little Rope. Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker also shared the LP’s first single “Hell” on Tuesday. The album arrives on Jan. 19 via Loma Vista.
The LP is set to comprise 10 songs that “veer from spare to anthemic, catchy to deliberately head-turning,” according to a press release. The project was created after Brownstein’s mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident in Italy.

Sleater-Kinney have shared the details of Little Rope, their upcoming album out January 19th via Loma Vista. They’re celebrating the news with its lead single “Hell,” out now, along with an extensive run of 2024 tour dates.
The follow-up to 2021’s Path of Wellness is billed as “one of the finest, most delicately layered records” in Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein’s prolific discography. But in its complex, ambitious instrumentation is an unimaginable tragedy: Last fall, Brownstein received a call from Italian embassy staff with the news that both her mother and stepfather had been killed in a car accident during a vacation.
Some of Little Rope had been written at that point, but as Brownstein and Tucker brought the material to the studio, all the music they put to tape became imbued with grief. With each vocal harmony and guitar riff, the album navigates loss — not just its initial pang,...

The world of free, ad-supported streaming has grown tremendously over the past year. New free ad-supported streaming TV (Fast) channels and services seem to pop up on a daily — and even hourly — basis. Most of those outlets provide traditional, familiar content from decades past that viewers can tune in to as a way to pass the time, because the shows and movies were low-stakes, unserialized shows from years ago. On Monday, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Csse) announced that it was bringing a bit of prestige to the world of FASTs.
The company announced that its free streaming platform Redbox Free Live TV is welcoming 12 fast channels from AMC Networks. The channels will include the various series from “The Walking Dead” Universe, the IFC sketch comedy show “Portlandia,” and the New York sports-focused Msg SportsZone.

Filmmaker Jonathan Krisel has been roped into direct ‘Pokemon Detective Pikachu’ sequel. Jonathan Krisel, co-creator of ‘Portlandia’, is in negotiations with Legendary Entertainment to direct the sequel to the live-action ‘Pokemon’ movie from 2019. Chris Galletta will write the script, reports Variety.
Krisel co-created, wrote and executive produced IFC’s sketch comedy show ‘Portlandia’, which starred fellow co-creators Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein in a multitude of oddball situations around Portland, Oregon.
He also co-created, wrote and directed FX’s ‘Baskets’, starring Zach Galifianakis as a rodeo clown. Previously, Galletta wrote the 2013 coming-of-age comedy ‘The Kings of Summer’.
The original ‘Pokemon Detective Pikachu’ starred Ryan Reynolds as a talking, coffee-loving Pikachu who fancied himself as a Sherlock Holmes. The electric mouse teams up with Tim Goodman, a down-on-his-luck Pokemon trainer played by Justice Smith, to find Tim’s missing dad. The cast included Kathryn Newton, who’s currently starring in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania...

More than 400 prominent female writers and showrunners sent a letter today to the heads of the major studios expressing their “grave concerns” about the companies’ “lack of specific production protocols” to protect their workers in anti-abortion states.
The letters, which state that “it is unacceptable to ask any person to choose between their human rights and their employment,” also demanded that the companies “pledge to discontinue all political donations to anti-abortion candidates and political action committees immediately.”
Deadline has obtained a copy of the letter to Netflix, which organizers say was sent to top executives at Amazon Studios, AMC Networks, Apple, Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, , and Warner Bros. Discovery.
The letters, whose signers include Ava DuVernay, Shonda Rhimes, Amy Schumer, Marta Kauffman, Callie Khouri, WGA West vice president Michele Mulroney and WGA West secretary-treasurer Betsy Thomas, said that “this situation raises basic matters of equality, health, and safety in the workplace.

The Irma Vep TV series is based on a 1996 movie of the same name. It makes sense that the HBO series would have a set ending but, could there be more story to tell if the show is popular enough? Stay tuned.
A thriller drama series written and directed by Olivier Assayas, the Irma Vep TV show stars Alicia Vikander, Adria Arjona, Carrie Brownstein, Tom Sturridge, Fala Chen, Devon Ross, Byron Bowers, and Vincent Macaigne. The story follows Mira (Vikander), an American movie star who's disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup. She comes to France to star as "Irma Vep" in a remake of the French silent film classic, Les Vampires. Set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, Mira struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and...

On a cloudy day in late October, at a chic hotel steps from the Champs Elysées, Alicia Vikander sat glued to her phone. The actress was silent, leaning back on an antique chair while her fingers tap-danced across an iPhone screen. She was idle and hard at work, making her stillness pop under the key lights and dollying camera tracking her every facial tic. While the Hotel Raphael ably played itself in this quiet scene, Vikander had more of a dual role: On set was Alicia, the Sweden-born dancer turned Hollywood star, and onscreen she was Mira, a different actress taking a break from blockbusters to shoot an auteur series in France. The echoes would hardly stop there.
Of course, meta is the name of the game in “Irma Vep,” Olivier Assayas’ sly and self-reflective showbiz sendup that finds art imitating life imitating art. Building on the foundations of Assayas...

“Deep down, you are an outlaw yourself,” a director tells his leading lady. “It’s what we share.” His star thanks him, taking the remark as a compliment, but insists she’s nowhere as daring as the character she’s tasked with playing.
This moment, in the first episode of HBO’s new series “Irma Vep,” is tossed-off and casual; the actors playing auteur and actress, Vincent Macaigne and Alicia Vikander, are believably weary, film-industry warriors just trying to get through the conversation, and the day. But — as is typical of the work of writer-director Olivier Assayas, who is adapting his 1996 film of the same title — there is a tricky and serpentine truth in the most offhanded of on-set talk. Vikander’s Mira begins the series as a rule-follower — obediently hitting her marks as part of a stage-managed superstar career. And it’s through a new role in independent cinema...

French director Olivier Assayas walked a tightrope with his 1996 unclassifiable, meta-moviemaking drama “Irma Vep.” It starred Hong Kong icon Maggie Cheung as herself, starring in a French film whose director was played by cinema legend Jean-Pierre Leaud, as they attempted to remake Louis Feuillade’s classic silent film serial “Les Vampires.” A treatise on Hollywood? A lampoon of the French film industry? A meta exercise in the negotiations between a major actress and a serious director? All of the above.
Now, Olivier Assayas is remaking his own movie for television with “Irma Vep,” coming to HBO and HBO Max on June 6 and now with Alicia Vikander in the role originated by Cheung. The show is first set to stop off at the Cannes Film Festival — Assayas’ stomping grounds with films like “Personal Shopper” and “Summer Hours” in competition and also the original “Irma Vep” in Un Certain Regard — before hitting the small screen.

HBO released the trailer for its upcoming limited series “Irma Vep,” from writer-director Olivier Assayas, based on his 1996 film of the same name. Starring Academy Award winner Alicia Vikander (“Ex Machina”) and produced in partnership with A24, the series premieres June 6 on HBO and HBO Max.
Vikander plays Mira, an American film star fresh out of a relationship and disillusioned by her career. She comes to France to play the role of Irma Vep — an anagram for “vampire” — in a remake of the French silent film “Les Vampires.” As she takes on the role, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur, and Mira struggles to grasp the world around her.
Assayas’ original film starred Maggie Cheung as herself and functioned as commentary on the state of French cinema at the time. Like the limited series, the film debuted at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. HBO’s “Irma Vep” will...

The joy of playing the guitar radiates from Really Good Rejects, Alice Gu’s SXSW documentary about Reuben Cox. Cox is a modern-day “luthier” – he makes stringed instruments, and his custom guitars grace stages all over the world. Artists clearly have a passion for his work: those lining up to praise him include Jackson Browne, Carrie Brownstein, Aaron Dessner of The National, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Madison Cunningham, and Andrew Bird.
The film opens with a barrage of platitudes before introducing us to the man himself and settling into a calmer groove. Cox is a pleasant photographer who started making guitars out of reclaimed wood, from everything from an old cabin to a side table in his home – the latter to the chagrin of his wife, Miwa Okumura, who jokes about it in an interview here.
Dessner was one of the first to try the instruments out, and...

It started with a bang, the sound of metal crashing down on the sidewalks of Washington, D.C. as hundreds of Trumpers stormed the Capitol. It continued into another pandemic year; for every two steps we took forward with vaccines and testing, we were knocked back one by variants and those who valued personal freedom over societal health. We went further into the internet, the metaverse, the cryptosphere — remember a time before NFTs? — and came out the other side feeling perhaps a little less connected to our humanity.

Vincent Macaigne, Jeanne Balibar, Lars Eidinger, Vincent Lacoste, Hippolyte Girardot, Alex Descas, Nora Hamzawi and Antoine Reinartz have joined the series.

Macaigne will play Vidal, while the other newly announced cast members will play various crew members and actors on Vidal’s remake of Louis Feuillade’s “Les Vampires.”
The group joins a list of previously announced cast members that includes Vikander, Adria Arjona, Carrie Brownstein, Jerrod Carmichael, Fala Chen and Devon Ross.
The limited series is a reimagining of sorts for director Olivier Assayas.
