Does Throwing Muses have new music out? They sure do.
Did I go back to the 90s for some of their older stuff anyway? I sure did.
No, Limbo is not my favorite album of theirs - it was post-Tanya era Muses, which is never my preference. It was their first album on Rykodisc after a decade with Sire Records (and of course, as always on 4AD). The album and stress on it - combined with Kristin Hersh's successful solo career - led to the band breaking up for several years.
As most of their music, written by Kristin, the song is at once noisy - a bit noisier than their earlier work - and dark. Even though Limbo isn't my favorite of theirs, this song floats to the top for me.
I love Kristin's voice live. It comes through a lot raspier than on record.
