Throwing Muses

Following their acclaimed 2020 ‘Sun Racket’ and currently preparing for a new release in 2025, Throwing Muses
return with new single ‘Drugstore Drastic’ out 12th November on Fire Records and an extensive 2025 UK and EU
Spring/Summer tour on sale now.
Written and produced by Kristin Hersh at Steve Rizzo's Stable Sound Studio in Portsmouth, Rhode Island,
‘Drugstore Drastic’ tells of a kerbside soliloquy caught en route to a more alluring rendezvous. Built on a brisk
acoustic strum with a guitar sub-melody underpinning proceedings, it’s an unfolding tale of social awareness from
a blurred sub-conscious.
Kristin Hersh: “The bulk of this song comes from a New Orleans sidewalk: an overheard conversation between a
sober and a not sober person, as we all made our way toward The Cool Tree, an uptown meeting point with a
shifting cast of characters, exotic birds and weird, twisting, tendril-like branches that reach out along the
ground.”
