Sleater-Kinney have shared a new single, “Say It Like You Mean It,” with a video directed by Carrie Brownstein and starring Succession’s J. Smith-Cameron. The track is an unforgettable, unadorned riff backing a raw examination of a relationship coming apart. Watch the video below:

“The video tells the story of a woman who's lost all sense of what's appropriate,” Brownstein explains.

“Sick with the alienation that stems from existing in a disparate emotional state from the person or people closest to her, she grapples with debilitating loss, desires to be seen, and dares you to leave.”

 
For the video, the band worked with Desert Island Studios, a minority-owned production company, studio facility, and membership collective working to remove barriers in the media industry for historically marginalized communities.
 
Last month, the band announced their 11th studio album, Little Rope, out January 19 via Loma Vista. You can pre-order/pre-save/do all of the things HERE
