Throwing Muses have announced their 11th album, Moonlight Concessions, that will be out March 14 via Fire Records. (It’s their first in five years.) Kristin Hersh wrote many of the songs in South coastal environments but recorded the album in Rhode Island. “In New Orleans the stars look greenish-blue, as it’s below sea level and swamp-lit. But on Moonlight Beach, they glow icy white. All these songs were written in these two glowy places, which helped our sonic technique find itself.”
The album includes last year’s “Drugstore Drastic,” and the new single is “Summer of Love,” which is the kind of stripped down, eerie acoustic number Hersh excels at. Listen below.
Throwing Muses will be on tour in the UK and EU this spring. Those dates are below.
