Sleater-Kinney: Jumpers
I bought Sleater-Kinney’s new album, The Woods, last year as soon as it was released in the UK. It took me until today, seven months later, to summon up the courage to listen to it. Because if the reviews were correct, The Woods sees Sleater-Kinney galloping towards classic hard rock: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. It would also be reaching back to their earlier albums including my (up until today) favourite Dig Me Out.
The reviews were right. And frankly, I’m blown away. Jumpers, a harrowing but musically stunning song, would have surpassed Cat Power’s He War in last year’s top tracks.
