COVER STORY: SLEATER-KINNEY INTERVIEWED BY EDDIE VEDDER On album number seven, they turned it up to 11. The Woods is a dark, loud and dangerous place where your grrrl-punk preconceptions about Sleater-Kinney disappear completely. Eddie Vedder wants to be your Barbara Walters. JESSE SYKES Sykes’ story is the tale of a cosmic cowgirl, her graveyard dreams, a lone guitar-slinger in a Seattle saloon and the music that comes out of the Sweet Hereafter. MICHAEL GIRA Evolving from Swans into Angels Of Light, Gira has turned from brutality to beauty. The overlord of New York’s musical underworld discusses his change of heart. ARCADE FIRE During its recent U.S. tour, the ascendant indie rockers in Montreal’s the Arcade Fire found themselves in unexplored territory: fending off the media, obligating autograph seekers and nursing stage-diving wounds. STATIC Mercury Rev edits its cinematic dreamscapes; Superdrag’s John Davis gets right with God; the Wedding Present renews its vows and reviews its career; Damon & Naomi make a mixed tape of international superhits; Klaus Nomi came from outer space to save the human race; Comets On Fire flame on and write about it; and Ben Lee finds some peace of mind.
