Following on from 2023’s Clear Pond Road, Kristin Hersh returns with new solo set ‘Sugar On Blackstone’. Listen/pre-order here: https://KristinHersh.lnk.to/SugarOnBlackstoneID
A darker yet delicately rendered work from Kristin Hersh, Sugar On Blackstone explores life and death, enrichment and poverty, and the small but defining moments of childhood that continue to echo through adult life. Deeply personal and emotionally expansive, the album reflects on the lasting bonds between musicians, family and friends, and the way certain sounds, places and memories can suddenly bring someone vividly back into focus.
The single ‘Dark Eyed Junco’ instantly draws you into her world with lucid, winding melodies and intricate arrangements. It’s an introspective track on Kristin and her brother’s childhood.
Kristin adds, “He was a ‘Dark Eyed Junco’ and I was a light-eyed weirdo. We’d play basketball until after dark then, when we couldn’t even see the hoop anymore, so that we didn’t have to go home. After our stepfather moved in, it wasn’t a home anymore.”
