Sleater-Kinney were the musical guests on Wednesday night’sLate Show, performing the song “Worry With You” from their new albumPath of Wellness.
Although some late-night music acts have now opted to play in front of a live studio audience, as in pre-Covid-10 times, the band chose to do a pre-taped performance in what looked like an abandoned skateboard park (or a drained pool). “Let’s get lost baby/And take a wrong turn,” Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker sang while trading off guitar parts. “That’s the life, that’s the life/We never ever wanna get burned.”
“Worry With You” was released as the firstPath of Wellness single back in May, ahead of the album’s release date on June 11th via Mom + Pop. The band also shared the singles “High in the Grass” and “Method.”
Path of Wellnessfollows Sleater-Kinney’s 2019 album,The Center Won’t Hold,and marks the group’s first LP as a duo, following thedeparture of drummer Janet Weissshortly before the release ofThe Center Won’t Hold. Brownstein and Corin Tucker recordedPath of Wellnessin Portland, Oregon, over the course of 2020.
