Black Pearl

Released

Genius is a bitch, because here is Kristin Hersh out here making one of the best rock records of her life, and what does she have to show for it! You cornballs and slow steppers need to bow down to the raspy ruler of the off-center spiral. This trio also takes Rid Of Me-era PJ Harvey and turns it into a whole universe of aggressive figuration.

Sasha Frere-Jones
