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 Hersh’s 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. Following a string of packed shows across Europe in Spring and Summer 2025, These shows are Throwing Muses'  first U.S. appearances in over a decade. 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.   "A homecoming like you've never heard before" PASTE "Kristin Hersh is a treasure" NPR "Startling" UNCUT ★★★★ "Hersh remains a force of nature" THE GUARDIAN ★★★★ ROLLING STONE ★★★★ CLASSIC ROCK ★★★★ MUSIKEXPRESS ★★★★ NARC ★★★★½ BANDCAMP – Album Of The Day
