Sun racket

"Throwing Muses' power to mesmerize is as potent as ever. The sheer density of Sun Racket makes it something of a grower, but fans will be more than willing to take the time to let these songs sink into them".

"I det amerikanske Throwing Muses er de knap så gode til at holde niveauet (...) gennem de seneste 20 år har forsanger Kristin Hershs klagende vokal fungeret som det eneste aktiv i bandet. I dag giver det bedre mening at dyrke Hershs solokarriere, der har kastet et dusin overbevisende, nedtonede udspil af sig".

"Kristin Hersh has been through the mill: mental ill-health, misdiagnoses, losing a custody battle, divorce, heartbreak. Yet she's steered Throwing Muses into their fifth decade and spent 29 years fronting the power trio line-up that continues to enthral and surprise ... 'Sun Racket' is a resounding and concise restatement of core values: Hersh's visceral guitar, fever-dream narratives (...) and a voice like tar and molasses, while the rhythm section (...) batten down the hatches ... Hersh has embraced overdubs, treated sound and ambient detail; the treacly "St Charles" is virtualy a (psychedelic) rebirth".
