Sleater-Kinney are releasing a new album, Path of Wellness, on June 11 via Mom + Pop. Now they have shared the album’s second single, “High in the Grass,” via a video for it. Kelly Sears directed the slightly strange video, which features people dancing in a distorted and colored field and some of them are headless. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming co-headlining tour dates with Wilco.

Previously Sleater-Kinney shared the album’s first single, “Worry With You,” via a video for it. “Worry With You” was one of our Songs of the Week.

Path of Wellness is the first album to be self-produced by the band and the first to be recorded since drummer Janet Weiss left the band in 2019. The band features Carrie Brownstein (guitar/vocals) and Corin Tucker (guitar/vocals).

Path of Wellness is the band’s follow-up to 2019’s The Center Won’t Hold, which landed them on one of the two covers of our My Favorite Album Issue, in which we interviewed each of them about The Center Won’t Hold and their all-time favorite album.

Brownstein and Tucker recorded the album in Portland, utilizing local musicians to back them up. The tour with Wilco was originally scheduled for 2020 but was pushed back due to COVID-19.
