Kristin Hersh
Over the last three decades, Kristin Hersh's prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release. Returning with a new solo record 'Clear Pond Road' released in September 2023, the album is a cinematic road trip; a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, plush with layers of atonal, edgy-dreamy strings and mellotron.
"One of indie rock's most fascinating figures" (The Guardian) Hersh has released over 20 solo records, with **Throwing Muses** and **50FOOTWAVE** to date. She is the author of an acclaimed memoir - based on her teenage diary - about a particularly eventful year, titled "Rat Girl" ('Paradoxical Undressing' in the UK), which was named #8 on Rolling Stone's "**25 Greatest Rock Memoirs of all time**." She later released her albums 'Crooked' (2010), 'Wyatt at the Coyote Palace' (2016) and Throwing Muses' 'Purgatory/Paradise' (2013) as groundbreaking books of music, artwork, essays and lyrics. NPR Books said of Hersh's latest work, 'Don't Suck, Don't Die' about her friendship with the late **Vic Chesnutt**, "Not only one of the best books of the year, it's one of the most beautiful rock memoirs ever written."
