Album of the Week – 14/03/25

For our album of the week this week, we’ve gone for an old friend in the form of Kristin Hersh and her band Throwing Muses. Their new album Moonlight Concessions is a bit of a gem.

Other albums worth checking out include Anoushka Shankar (Chapter III: We Return To Light), Slow Readers Club (Out of a Dream and Circuit des Yeux (Halo on the Inside). If you’re in the mood for some modern classical sounds, then check out Kronos Quartet and Mary Kouyoumdjian with their album WITNESS.

Album of the Week – Moonlight Concessions by Throwing Muses

Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery.
