Kristin Hersh – Sugar On Blackstone (Light Blue Vinyl)

Sugar On Blackstone is a dark, intimate and emotionally expansive new solo album from Kristin Hersh, founder and creative force behind Throwing Muses and one of alternative rock’s most singular voices. Exploring memory, grief, childhood, family and the lasting connections between musicians and places, the album reflects on how certain sounds and locations can suddenly bring the past vividly back into focus.

Recorded at Stable Sound Studios with longtime collaborators Rob Ahlers of 50FOOTWAVE on drums and cellist Pete Harvey of Throwing Muses, Sugar On Blackstone balances stark vulnerability with warmth, tension and resilience. Pressed on light blue vinyl, this essential release will appeal to fans of PJ Harvey, Beth Gibbons, Pixies, Low, The Breeders and Yo La Tengo, and arrives alongside extensive UK and European touring activity.
