Moonlight Concessions marks Throwing Muses’ return to their esoteric, off-kilter best, with Kristin Hersh’s sharp, surreal vignettes set to abrasive yet tender arrangements. Produced by Hersh at Stable Sound Studio, the album captures everyday moments turned into vivid, fragmented tales. Highlights include the brisk, reflective “Drugstore Drastic” and the brooding baroque opener “Summer of Love.” Written between the Gulf of Mexico and Southern California, the album draws on these contrasting atmospheres to create a collection brimming with raw emotion, optimism, and the signature Muses energy.
