Last March, riot grrrl dreams came true when Sleater-Kinney musicians Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss revealed they were working together again. In the fall, the duo, joined by Mary Timony (Helium)
and Rebecca Cole (The Minders), announced the birth of Wild Flag, an all-girl quartet.
"'Glass Tambourine' is a song that exemplifies a lot of why I love being
in Wild Flag," Carrie Brownstein told NPR's All Songs Considered.
"It
starts off as a warped pop song and then veers into something more
psychedelic. There are melodies, harmonies, and then a fair amount of
chaos. For this very reason, it's one of our favorite songs to play
live. There is an improvisational aspect at the end, and we rarely know
what's going to happen."
On April 16, in celebration of Record Store Day, Wild
Flag will release a seven-inch vinyl, and its full album is due out in
early fall.
