1,000 Years is the first album by The Corin Tucker Band, released on October 5, 2010, and the first album Tucker released since Sleater-Kinney went on "hiatus" in 2006.

Though it wasn’t actually 1,000 Years between Sleater-Kinney's last album before they went on hiatus, The Woods, and the Corin Tucker Band's debut, it felt a lot longer than just five. The Woods reaffirmed Sleater-Kinney as one of indie rock’s premier bands - female-driven or otherwise - and Janet Weiss and Carrie Brownstein remained prominent afterwards, working on other projects ranging from new bands to journalism

But Corin chose to branch out and work with a new sonic palette. That’s not to say that 1,000 Years is a salsa or hip-hop album. Corin still stands at the forefront, but maybe time as a stay-at-home mom has altered her perception of life (I know I am changed forever when my wife leaves town for a weekend). This quote sums the album up nicely: Thats the artistic, itchy personality, Tucker says. Youre constantly trying to do something different. The songs touch on common daily subjects and the struggle of sometimes, well, just being  . And then you realize that you are listening to one of the best albums of the year.

For Tucker, that now means putting out a fine solo album called 1,000 Years, which sounds surprisingly muted compared to the raging wails of many Sleater-Kinney records, but which nevertheless finds the singer in a bold and exploratory place. Aside from a few muscular, careening rockers ("Handed Love," "Doubt"), it's more stripped-down than many of her most ardent fans might expect.

1,000 Years is an uplifting album, despite some of the painful imagery. Sometimes wallowing in the past isn't such a bad thing, especially when, like it did for Corin Tucker, it moves you forward.
