"Bury Our Friends" surfaced on January 14, 2015, six days ahead of No Cities to Love, the Sub Pop album that ended Sleater-Kinney's decade-long hiatus. It was the band's eighth studio album and their first since The Woods in 2005, and the song is credited to the band as a whole.
John Goodmanson produced, recorded and mixed it, and the sessions were kept secret, held largely at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone, with extra dates at Seattle's Electrokitty and Portland's Kung Fu Bakery. The secrecy didn't hold all the way to the finish line: Sub Pop accidentally streamed the whole album three weeks early in December 2014. Critics greeted the album with universal acclaim, and it turned up on a string of year-end best-of lists.
