“A fearless rock innovator.”
—The New York Times

“Hersh’s tough, instinctive wail has been one of the greatest sounds in American underground rock for decades.”
—Stereogum

Over the last three decades, Kristin Hersh’s prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release. She returns with a new solo record Clear Pond Road released in September 2023. The album is a cinematic road trip; it’s a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, plush with layers of atonal, edgy-dreamy strings and mellotron.

It’s a watershed moment in a career overflowing with creative firsts and inspirational thinking, and an elegant piece of personal reportage. The album offers a sensuous, life-affirming statement, a very personal memoir; it’s a blossoming of a true icon of independence.

In 2018, 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 the new book Seeing Sideways (2022).

“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 U.K.), 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), along with 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.”
