Debut LP
THROWING MUSES
1986
SPIN Magazine said: “It’s a record of dense textures, guitar splatter and belljar lyrics. The fragmented sound of Throwing Muses, a college girl’s dining hall conversation set to antagonistic electric screeching, was painful, self-loathing, man-love-hating. “

MOONLIGHT CONCESSIONS

The Guardian (English newspaper): “For their 11th album in a nearly 40-year career, the alt-rockers switch focus to acoustic guitars and cello – but their tumultuous tales are still charged with elemental power. Hersh remains a force of nature: ungovernable, volcanic, drawing on her own near-death experiences, trauma and inextinguishable survival instinct.”
TUTV: No automatic pilot for Kristin Hersh. It’s a spellbinding acoustic
record that generates emotive electricity, transferring you into a trance.
