SUMMARY:An Evening with Kristin Hersh
LOCATION:The National Centre for Early Music (NCEM)
DESCRIPTION: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 a
 lbum is a cinematic road trip\; a series of personal vignettes from a fier
 cely independent auteur\, plush with layers of atonal\, edgy-dreamy string
 s and mellotron.\n\nIt’s a watershed moment in a career overflowing with
  creative firsts and inspirational thinking\, an elegant piece of personal
  reportage. It’s a sensuous\, life-affirming statement\, a very personal
  memoir\; it’s the a blossoming of a true icon of independence.\n\nIn 20
 18 Hersh announced a new partnership with Fire Records that made possible 
 the release of her acclaimed tenth studio album\, ‘Possible Dust Clouds
 ’. Since then there’s been new releases from Throwing Muses (‘Sun 
 Racket’\, 2020) and 50Foot Wave (‘Black Pearl’\, 2022) along with ne
 w book ‘Seeing Sideways’ (2022).\n\n“One of indie rock’s most fasc
 inating figures” (The Guardian) Hersh has released over 20 solo records
 \, with Throwing Muses and 50FOOTWAVE to date. She is the author of an acc
 laimed memoir — based on her teenage diary — about a particularly even
 tful 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/Paradis
 e’ (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 t
 he best books of the year\, it’s one of the most beautiful rock memoirs 
 ever written.” \n\nPreviously\, the juxtaposition of light and dark ha
 s been essential to the drama of Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave\, but thi
 s new record is something of a departure: more inward looking. Produced an
 d performed by Hersh\, ‘Clear Pond Road’ is quieter yet more outspoken
 \, its inventive musical logic underpinned by the ambience of field record
 ings.\n\n“Passion sounds less angry here\, more grateful\, I think\,” 
 Kristin says\, “sweeter\, sadder\, and somehow no less alive. Honestly
 ? It’s a love story and its erratic heart rate reflects this. As texture
 d and raunchy as real life songs like these can get\, the sonic vocabulary
  is delicate\, so I had to respect that and keep it grounded with car engi
 nes and rain in New England\, then whistling ducks and wind chimes in New 
 Orleans. Which sounds wistful\, like a blurry photograph.”\n\nCurrently 
 in the studio working on the next offering from Throwing Muses\, Kristin H
 ersh is also preparing for a three month solo tour to celebrate across the
  UK and Ireland before heading to Australia and New Zealand.\n\nBoletos: h
