DESCRIPTION:
"Great new album from Hersh & co" according to 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 Throwing Muses catalogue. There are several strong trac. 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 between surreal and cerebral leaving you fully satisfi.

Purgatory/Paradise is a gorgeous, interactive art book Hersh’s lyrics and stories would make it a compelling read even without the music. It’s both a gorgeous standalone object and a sort of decoder for the album’s tracks (Pitchfork)Nothing short of epic wrenching, alarming, disturbing, and occasionally seasoned with bits of dark humor . a stunning psychological ride. (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
