Prolific singer-songwriter luminary KRISTIN HERSH, best known for her illustrious band
Throwing Muses and, to a lesser extent, 50 Foot Wave. She’s also pretty productive on
her own.
With SUGAR ON BLACKSTONE she’ll launch her
12th album. Out August 18th. Tracklist here.
It follows last year’s splendid Throwing Muses‘ 11th
full-length Moonlight Concessions. No, no time out
for Hersh.
Along with the news comes 1st single DARK EYED JUNCO.
A romantic, retrospective memory wrapped in a fervid tune.
Hersh: “He was a ‘Dark Eyed Junco’ and I was a light-eyed weirdo. We’d play
basketball until after dark then, when we couldn’t even see the hoop anymore,
so that we didn’t have to go home. After our stepfather moved in,
it wasn’t a home anymore.”
(Me, as an NBA freak, I wonder if Kristin has a fav basket team).
“Dark eyed junco
Light on the wing
Flyin into town, on a cloud
Tryin to make the heart sing”
