Description

Throwing Muses' lynchpin, Kristin Hersh's prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release.
Her tenth studio album, 'Possible Dust Clouds' is a highly personalised sociopathic gem delivered as a futuristic rewriting of how music works, a melodious breeze with a tail wind of venomous din.
Enveloping the juxtaposition of the concept of 'dark sunshine', a brooding solo record created with friends to expand her off-kilter sonic vision; a squally, squeaky mix of discordant beauty.
Feedback and phasing gyrate from simply strummed normality, imagine Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine cranking up a Dylan couplet.
'Possible Dust Clouds' is a glorious return to form for one of alternative rock's true innovators.
She's still as powerful a presence as she ever was. Pitchfork

The prodigious output and commitment to quality is pretty staggering, but then Kristin Hersh is a very, very special musician. The Quietus

Throwing Muses became a byword for college-rock feminism in the late 80s, largely because of Hersh's uncompromising impressionist poetry of emotional anguish, subjugated womanhood and mental illness. The Guardian
