Dig Me Out
''Dig Me Out'' is the third studio album by the American rock band Sleater-Kinney, released on April 8, 1997 by Kill Rock Stars. The album was produced by John Goodmanson and recorded from December 1996 to January 1997 at John and Stu's Place in Seattle, Washington. ''Dig Me Out'' marked the debut of Janet Weiss, who is the band's longest serving and current drummer. The music on the record was influenced by traditional rock and roll bands, while the lyrics deal with issues of heartbreak and survival.
Two singles were released in support of the album: "One More Hour" and "Little Babies". The title track "Dig Me Out" peaked at number six on the KEXP Top 90.3 Album Chart in 1997 without being released as a single. The album received substantial acclaim from music critics, who praised the album's energy and feminist lyrics. ''Dig Me Out'' is included on several publications' best album lists. In 2003, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it number 272 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
== Background and recording ==
''Dig Me Out'' is the follow-up to Sleater-Kinney's highly acclaimed second album ''Call the Doctor'', released in 1996 by the queercore independent record label Chainsaw Records. ''Call the Doctor'' confirmed the band's reputation as one of the major musical acts from the Pacific Northwest, rebelling against gender roles, consumerism, and indie rock's male-dominated hierarchy.〔 After the release of ''Call the Doctor'', drummer Janet Weiss of Quasi joined the band. Previously, the band had had a number of temporary drummers, including Misty Farrell, Lora Macfarlane, and Toni Gogin.〔 Weiss would eventually become Sleater-Kinney's longest serving and current drummer. For its third album, Sleater-Kinney worked again with producer John Goodmanson.〔 The band left Chainsaw Records and decided to release the album through Kill Rock Stars, another independent record label which singer and guitarist Corin Tucker thought had better resources to ensure the band's distribution. Goodmanson also remarked that Kill Rock Stars afforded the band a generous amount of studio time for an independent label, stating that ''Call the Doctor'' only took four days to record while ''Dig Me Out'' was recorded over the period of eight days.〔
''Dig Me Out'' was written in nearly two months and recorded from December 1996 to January 1997 at John and Stu's Place in Seattle, Washington.〔〔 During the recording sessions, recording the vocal interplay between Tucker and co-vocalist and guitarist Carrie Brownstein involved some difficulties. However, the producer took care and prevented favoring one voice over the other. As Goodmanson recalls: "We always used different mikes for the lead vocal and for the second vocal, or different kinds of processing to make those things really distinct. To make it so you can hear both things at once".〔 Goodmanson also noted that the fact that the band features no bass player was an advantage for the album's production.〔 He explained: "The awesome thing about having no bass player is you can make the guitars sound as big as you want. Usually you have to clear all that room out for the bass, so you can hear the bass line. With no bass there, you can just go for giant guitar sounds that you wouldn't normally be able to go for".〔
