The Center Won’t Hold by Sleater-Kinney
The Center Won’t Hold is an album by Sleater-Kinney, released in 2019. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Can I Go On”, on 3 lists with a best position of #72.
The Center Won't Hold, Sleater-Kinney's ninth studio album, came out on Mom + Pop on August 16, 2019, and it's the sound of the Olympia veterans tearing up their own blueprint. St. Vincent produced it, and the guitars of Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein now share the room with synths, post-punk fury wired straight into synth-pop.
It's their second record since the 2014 reunion, after No Cities to Love, and the last to feature drummer Janet Weiss, who announced she was leaving on July 1, 2019, barely a month before release. That makes it, so far, the final Sleater-Kinney album made as a trio. Reviews were mostly warm, and the title track, "Can I Go On" and "Hurry On Home" all turned up on the countdowns.
