Description
This prolific American singer-songwriter and a post-punk pioneer is the founder, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Throwing Muses. From that launching pad, Kristin Hersh also performs and records as a solo artist and with her hardcore punk-influenced power trio 50 Foot Wave. Known for creative chord chemistry, hypnotic sonic treatments, and a vocal style ranging from softly melodic singing to impassioned screaming, her signature contributions to popular music include addressing the complexities of marriage and motherhood through impressionistic, sometimes hallucinatory lyrics about everyday feelings and varying mental states. Last year, Penguin Books released her memoir Rat Girl to critical acclaim.
