Throwing Muses

Throwing Muses released their new album Moonlight Concessions in 2025 via Fire Records. The album follows their acclaimed Sun Racket from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery. Moonlight Concessions goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin Hershs pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements, a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large - think Raymond Carver Short Cuts, overheard conversations, recounted happenings and telling one-liners, all sewed together to illustrate the times as they slowly mature, fully peppered with original Muses vim and vigour.

S. With nearly 40 years of Muses-history behind her, Kristin Hersh continues to be one of the most compelling voices in American rock a fiercely original songwriter and a magnetic live performer.
