Hot Sale Sugar On Blackstone

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. Recorded at Stable Sound Studios earlier this year, Hersh is joined by longtime collaborators Rob Ahlers on drums and cellist Pete Harvey. The result is a stark yet warm collection of songs that balances fragility with force, intimacy with tension.
