THE CORIN TUCKER BAND

1,000 Years (Kill Rock Stars)
Release date: Oct. 5
The Skinny: Corin Tucker has been relatively quiet since Sleater-Kinney took a breather in 2006, but presumably she's been more present to the two kids she's been mothering than to the rest of us. But here she is again, with a new namesake band and an album, 1,000 Years, that features more lightly brushed drumming and things like violins than a Sleater-Kinney record ever did. Her stated reference points this time include Sinead O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra, as well as the Slits, the Raincoats, and the English Beat.
