The Melodic Tree’s 5 Favorite Albums of 2015 So Far: #5 No Cities To Love

After a decade-long silence, Sleater-Kinney breaks it with their eighth album, No Cities To Love. This album continues the band’s legacy of skepticism, intellect, and emotional capacity they had maintained over their previous seven albums. The trio’s urgency for change is part of Sleater-Kinney’s identity and is shown especially in this album, although they still maintain their low-tuned rock tropes with an essence of punk. No Cities To Love is the band’s most accessible album, incorporating a new pop sound into it, with shouted choruses that reel in the listener. Much like their previous work, the lyrics are immensely empathetic, and even after ten years, Sleater-Kinney can still bring in more and more listeners.
