Product Description

Product Description

In a music and publishing industry first, acclaimed musician Kristin Hersh releases her new studio album, Crooked, as a book.

Kristin Hersh, lead singer of Throwing Muses and successful solo artist, will be releasing her new studio album, Crooked, as a book. This is the first time any major recording artist has taken such a step which makes this a groundbreaking publication and one that we will be supporting with a massive publicity push.

Crooked, the book, will contain full colour artwork, lyrics and an exclusive essay by Kristin on each song.

Each copy will come with a digital code which unlocks a treasure trove of online content including:

• The full Crooked album.
• Full recording stems for every track allowing fan remixes.
• Track by track audio commentary by Kristin.
• Exclusive video content.
• Out-takes.
• A forum enabling fans to interract with Kristin, ask questions, live web chats etc.
• Sample chapters from her forthcoming memoir, Paradoxical Undressing.

This full content will only be available to fans who purchase Crooked the book.

About the Author

Kristin Hersh is an American songwriter and guitarist. She founded the seminal art-punk band Throwing Muses at age fourteen and is widely recognised as an indie rock pioneer. Throwing Muses were the first American act signed to venerable indie record label 4AD. The past 25 years have seen Kristin sell hundreds of thousands of records, play every major venue and festival and grow her loyal following into a meaningful community that can best be described as a tribe.

This is fabulous, from the first track to last, faultless.
Highlight for me is probably Moan, listen to her guitar work in that - shivers down your spine time.

Also, if you buy this you get access to 9 additional tracks, out-takes that failed to make the album.

Don't hesitate, just buy

As usual with Kristin Hersh records, the music of "Crooked" takes "a few spins" to get into. When it hits you, though, you fall in love! The "Crooked" songs are immediately pleasing to the ear, but given time, the full impact of the words and music is felt.

But I'm getting ahead of myself in this case, as this particular album comes in the form of a hardback book. It does not contain a CD, but rather details of how to download the songs and the accompanying wealth of multimedia online.

And it is a very beautifully presented book, containing essays on all the songs. Both the essays and the songs themselves are moving and powerful and reward repeated listening and reading. Thoroughly recommended.

Crooked is another amazing offering from an artist that has never failed to surprise or disappoint. From the heartbreaking tones of "flooding" to the full on blast of "coals", Kristin has once again proved that after 20 odd years on the road she can still come up with something as fresh, original and inspiring as Crooked.
