"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".
