About this product
A highly personalised sociopathic gem delivered as a futuristic rewriting of how music works, a melodious breeze with a tail wind of venomous din. A ten-track album, her tenth studio set. Enveloping the juxtaposition of the concept of dark sunshine, a brooding solo record creating with friends to expand her off-kilter sonic vision; a squally, squeaky mix of discordant beauty. Feedback and phasing gyrate from simply strummed normality, imagine Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine cranking up a Dylan couplet. Messing with both extremes of the sonic spectrum atonal and arrhythmic, a unique sound and a glorious return to form for one of alternative rock s true innovators. Sometimes the most subversive thing I can do musically is adhere to standard song structure, sometimes the creepiest chords are the ones we ve heard before, twisted into different shapes, and sometimes a story is lived a thousand times before we can ride it like a roller coaster. Nothing wholly unfamiliar is gonna make you look twice. When you can describe a record as being deceptively anything, you re hinting at the sociopathic nature of music. Something I love. Imagine truly buying your own sunshine and charm, but also your darkness and violence; the two sides of your psychology showing each other off in relief. Songs can do that... we can t, really. Darkness we ve seen. Kristin Hersh.

Kristin Hersh's new album is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, sitting plush with layers of all-consuming strings and mellotron. It's a watershed moment in a career overflowing with creative firsts and inspirational thinking; an elegant piece of personal reportage, a home movie caught in time. Previously, the juxtaposition of light and dark has been essential to the drama of Throwing Muses and 50FOOTWAVE, but this solo set is something of a departure; more inward looking, quieter but outspoken, underpinned by background noise for ambience and awkwardness. InchPassion sounds less angry, more grateful, I think,Inch Kristin muses, Inchsweeter, sadder. And somehow, no less alive... over car engines and rain in New England and whistling ducks and wind chimes in New Orleans, it all sounds wistful to me.Inch 'Clear Pond Road' is a life-affirming statement, a further part of the jigsaw, a very personal memoir, from street signs to snapshots; a late blossoming and coming-of-age from a true icon of independence. The record is both intimate yet expansive, written largely within the confines of Hersh's home, making the proceedings ever more personal. InchFew artists understand the intensity of living one's art like HershInch The Guardian InchA fearless rock innovatorInch.
Vinyl LP pressing includes . A figurehead for feminist indie rock' (Classic Rock), Kristin Hersh achieved a music and publishing first when her eighth solo album was initially released as a multi-media book in 2009. Hersh's 'poetic, provocative and puzzling songcraft' (The Washington Post) makes 'Crooked' a stunning record. The resplendent, melancholic 'Flooding' came to Hersh in the form of song but was also a premonition of the imminent death of close friend and musician Vic Chesnutt. Mainstay in her recent live shows, 'Mississippi Kite' is snarly and unsettling whilst the spectral psychedelic tones of 'Rubidoux' stem from a 50foot Wave car ride and a late-night recording session. The songs still lead the way hitting Hersh fully formed but it's her beguiling raspy vocals paired with guitar, and any other instrument that she chose to play on this album, that has a beautiful intensity that's jarring, unpredictable and inherent in her music. 'She's still as powerful a presence as she ever was.' Pitchfork.
New pressing of the old RSD LP, now on black vinyl. An essential vinyl of the Throwing Muses' mainstay's 2016's CD and essay book that featured stories from Inchher life's most perception-altering juncturesInch (NPR). InchAs memoirs, her albums are so intensely personal... as art, they're arguments for the value of unapologetic individualityInch Pitchfork. InchThis music reminds you how alone you are; it consoles you through it's insolubility, comforts you by jabbing you in the chest and letting you know how complex the struggle is, how inaccessible we are to each other but just how universal our pain can be.Inch The Wire. This sonically rich and fragmented record references to Hersh's past material and sees her perform on guitar, bass, drums, piano, horns and cello. There's a mysticism and sense of life wonderment throughout 'Wyatt At The Coyote Palace' that also has death as a central theme rather than the contemplation of death itself it's reaching the end of something and beginning a new life.Side A. 1 Bright2 Bubble Net3 In Stitches4 Secret Codes5 Green Screen6 Hemmingway's TellSide B. 7 Detox8 Wonderland9 Day 310 Diving Bell11 Killing Two Birds12 GuadalupeSide C. 13 American Copper14 August15 Some Dumb Runaway16 From the Plane17 Sun Blown18 Elysian FieldsSide D. 19 Soma Gone Slapstick20 Cooties21 Christmas Underground22 Between Piety and Desire23 Shaky Blue Can24 Shotgun
