Throwing Muses return with Sun Racket, their first album since 2013’s Purgatory/Paradise. The legendary Boston trio—Kristin Hersh, David Narcizo, and Bernard Georges—blend modal guitars, echoing drums, and driving bass with Hersh’s incisive songwriting to create a ten-track opus that is at once delicate, ethereal, and powerfully cathartic. Unlike previous work, where fragments and miniatures leapt between songs, Sun Racket asks listeners to sit with its fully realized compositions. Heavy noise and delicate music-box melodies coexist seamlessly, building to glorious crescendos while maintaining moments of quiet intimacy. The album reflects decades of collaboration and trust among the band members, resulting in music that is both precise and alive with spontaneity. A ground-breaking band who changed the face of alternative music rather than follow the rule book – MXDWNPioneers of the 80s/early 90s college rock sound – PitchforkOne of America’s finest guitar bands – The Quietus
