Album Review: Sleater_Kinney’s “The Center Won’t Hold” charts a bold, largely successful new course through pop and politics
Weiss was a full participant for the recording of “Center,” although her presence does feel diminished at times. Perhaps it’s the result of pop polymath Annie Clark , who made headlines this spring when it was announced that she would serve as the album’s producer.
For 23 years, the band has been a three-headed force of nature, kept in perfect balance by the interplay of Brownstein and Tucker on guitar and Weiss serving as the outfit’s sonic spine. With Clark coming aboard as a producer, the need for Weiss as an anchoring force on the record was lessened. Clark is downright masterful in her ability to manipulate and modulate a song’s atmosphere.
Still, while the loss of Weiss is unquestionably enormous, what’s the crime in Brownstein and Tucker taking the moment to reshape their roles within the band as well? Sleater-Kinney’s innovative, groundbreaking catalog isn’t going anywhere. How it will feel to see fan favorites like “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone” or “One More Hour” performed live without Weiss remains to be seen, but “Center” is a new chapter.
