2010 album from the former Sleater Kinney member and her band. 1000 Years began with the same surprise turn that started Corin Tucker's career back in 1991, ended Sleater-Kinney's 11 year year run in 2006 and inspired the Punk-feminist rocker to redefine herself as a stay at home mom. It was early 2009, and Tucker was performing at a benefit show in her hometown of Portland, OR airing out a couple of new songs. Another benefit and another pair of unheard tunes followed a few weeks later. Encouragement and praise followed. Cue the wrenching rhythms and hard angle melodies, the slashing guitars and wildly passionate vocals. Only now the hard edges come nestled in lush weaves of acoustic guitars, keyboards, interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins, which places 1,000 Years deep into Tucker's creative headwaters another addition to her 20 year catalogue of restless songs for restless spirits.
