Kristin Hersh’s prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release.
‘A figurehead for feminist indie rock’ (Classic Rock), Kristin Hersh achieved a music and publishing first when her eighth solo album was initially released as a multi-media book in 2009.
Hersh’s “poetic, provocative and puzzling songcraft” (The Washington Post) makes Crooked a stunning record.
The resplendent, melancholic Flooding came to Hersh in the form of song but was also a premonition of the imminent death of close friend and musician Vic Chesnutt. Mainstay in her recent live shows, Mississippi Kite is snarly and unsettling whilst the spectral psychedelic tones of Rubidoux stem from a 50foot Wave car ride and a late-night recording session.
The songs still lead the way hitting Hersh fully formed but it’s her beguiling raspy vocals paired with guitar, and any other instrument that she chose to play on this album, that has a beautiful intensity that’s jarring, unpredictable and inherent in her music.
