THEN
Band: THROWING MUSES
Who: Legendary indie group from Rhode Island founded in 1981, in by two musically marvelous stepsisters, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly who later co-formed The Breeders with Kim Deal but soon afterward she started her own group Belly.
Albums: 11, new one included. Check ’em all out here
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. “

New Album
MOONLIGHT CONCESSIONS
14 March 2025
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.
