Sleater-Kinney<\/a> have released the lyric video for \u201cCan I Go On,\u201d the latest single from their forthcoming album The Center Won\u2019t Hold<\/em>. The record, produced by St. Vincent<\/a>, arrives August 16th.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I Go On\u201d combines existential despair and rage over the current era in its seething guitar riffs and lyrics: \u201cSell our rage, buy and trade, but we still cry for free every day\u2026\u2026 maybe I\u2019m not sure I wanna go on at all.\u201d From the opening line, \u201cEveryone is tired\/And everyone is wired\/To machines,\u201d it\u2019s clear that Carrie Brownstein<\/a>, who once again leads vocals on their fourth single in a row, means to address the technological dread brought on by the contemporary news cycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this song, a woman\u2019s desire is used against her, so she turns it into a sinister infectiousness,\u201d Brownstein said in a statement. \u201cThe narrator finds herself on the brink of self-annihilation, grappling with the paradox of an internal darkness at odds with the pressure to outwardly perform modes of joy, relatability, and likability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan I Go On\u201d follows the release of prior singles \u201cHurry On Home,\u201d<\/a> \u201cThe Future Is Here\u201d<\/a> and \u201cThe Center Won\u2019t Hold.<\/a>\u201d Sleater-Kinney will hit the road this fall for a North American tour in support of the album. Recently, Brownstein and vocalist\/guitarist Corin Tucker<\/a> sat down with the New York Times<\/em><\/a> to discuss recording The Center Won\u2019t Hold<\/em> as well as the departure<\/a> of longtime Sleater-Kinney drummer, Janet Weiss<\/a>.<\/p>\n
