I wrote about Throwing Muses’ 1991 album ‘The Real Ramona,’ which became a backbone for ’90s “alternative” as it came to be known.

YouTube video by Kristin Hersh - Topic Fly

I only recently found out that one of my favourite singers, @kristinhersh.bsky.social covered my favourite Nick Drake song, "Fly" for a compilation in 2014. This is so beautiful and so real. It makes me cry.

Running alongside (and occasionally eclipsing) the singular path taken by her beloved group @throwingmuses.bsky.social Kristin's solo career has revealed several new facets to this prolific talent.

'Strange Angels' is #KristinHersh 's 2nd studio album & was released #onthisday February 2, 1998.
