Throwing Muses’ new album Moonlight Concessions came to
life in a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm and is now available to
collapse into a deviously titled Moonlight Confessions
companion record. These alternate takes capture a primal
unfiltered immediacy, drawing on the primal energy of bands like
Fugazi or Shellac, the songs emerge as more fierce, chaotic, and
untamed. A stripped-back but insistent sideswipe that foregoes
the cello and pacing of ‘Concessions’, instead offering a visceral
ambience filled with raw production and stark storytelling.

Kristin Hersh explains the approach on this partner record,


“Moonlight Confessions is how the record sounded before we
slowed ourselves down and cleaned ourselves up. It is possibly
more fun in alternate version land, as alternate universes rarely
apologize for their ungroomed natures. Same with us: this band is
only occasionally presentable, and while both records have teeth,
confessions are probably spit through pointier teeth.”


A glorious return to the DIY ethics of their early days, littered
with xenophobes with shotguns on the prowl, chancers taking
bets, a fluttering albatross mistaken for a seagull, drunks feigning
sobriety and a homeless person with a Spiderman mask raising a
toast, both moonlight sonatas blossom unashamedly.
