Corin Tucker - 1,000 Years
Comments (0)

Pitchfork just gone and done right with details of Corin’s upcoming solo record. Revealing the title 1,000 Years track listing, cover art and snippets from the press release:

“acoustic guitars, keyboards, interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins,” so this should sound pretty different from Sleater-Kinney (or pretty different from loud Sleater-Kinney, anyway; softer songs like “The Swimmer” and “The Size of Our Love” included at least a few of those instruments).

Go ahead and view all that good stuff directly.

Corin talks new record
Comments (0)

Corin spoke with the Portland Mercury to discuss her upcoming solo album set for an October release on Kill Rock Stars.

How would you describe the sound of the record, particularly in comparison to Sleater-Kinney?
I think some of the songs are in the ballpark. It’s definitely my voice and my songwriting style. But like I said, it’s different instrumentation on some of the songs and a different collaboration. Seth’s producing and arranging things, so that’s different, too. It may be more traditional with some of the arrangements.

The entire interview can be read at Portland Mercury.

    Kids’ Tunes

    A few months ago Corin spoke to Noelle Crombie of Mom Beat, The Oregonian about children’s music and alternatives to its sucktitude:

    Tucker, who lives in Portland and is mom to a 7-year-old son and a 3-month-old girl (May ‘08), is blunt in her assessment of kids’ music:

    “To be honest, I can’t stand almost all children’s music.”

    Still, Tucker came up with some great recommendations. Like Carol King’s “Really Rosie.” And Smithsonian Folkways recordings for children. She’s also a fan of Pete Seegar’s “Birds Beasts Bugs & Fishes.”

    Her son, Marshall, loves this guy, especially “King of the Road.”

    “My son loves that. He knows all the words.”

    She said she and her husband try to play music they like and hope Marshall and his baby sister, Glory!, like it, too. “I mean (Marshall) loves Green Day. He loves The Replacements.”

    “We play what we like. My parents were the same way. My dad played Woodie Guthrie for us and Queen and his record collection. That is what I was raised on.”
