Great new album from Hersh & co Atom Joy It's 25 years since Throwing Muses' original line-up blew me away, and a barnstorming gig in June 1989 is still my all-time favourite. (Not that there haven't been great Muses gigs since then!) This beautifully produced CD/Book is a fine and fitting installment in the Thr. T. Donoghue said It is a wonderful flowing piece of continuous music that showcases her at. I think I would just say thisthis album is Kristin's Abbey Road. It is a wonderful flowing piece of continuous music that showcases her at the peak of her creative powers, along with the two out Muses.All the unexpected hooky melodies weave with a narrative that dances be.

Purgatory/Paradise is a revolutionary fusion of music and text from seminal indie rock band Throwing Muses.Kristin Hersh, Throwing Muses’s lead singer/songwriter, is one of the most well-respected musicians to emerge from the 1980s indie rock scene. Her work has influenced artists such as Cat Power, Alanis Morrissette, Lush, and Sleater-Kinney, as well as Riot Grrrls everywhere.Ten years in the making, Hersh and Throwing Muses’s 32-track album Purgatory/Paradise is the centerpiece of this deluxe 64-page book which also contains more than two dozen photographs and artwork by Kristin Hersh and band member Dave Narcizo; lyrics for each song; stories and essays that accompany each track written by Hersh; and instructions for downloads of exclusive content, including demos and outtakes.

(Popdose)Praise for Kristin Hersh: “It’s almost impossible to imagine the visceral bleats of singers like Corin Tucker or Marissa Paternoster without Kristin Hersh.” (Pitchfork)“Hersh is a fearless rock innovator.” (New York Times)“One of America’s finest songwriters.” (Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84)Praise for Rat Girl: “Hersh has pretty much been to hell and back and lived to tell the taleextremely well written.” (Huffington Post)“Sensitive and emotionally raw it’s also wildly funny.” (New York Times Book Review)“With its reined in plot line and ethereal prose style, Rat Girl reads more like a novela pleasure to read.” (Slate)“An original beauty.” (Mary
