Maybe my Cyndi Lauper nomination will come up.

There's a new Kristin Hersh (double?) album out soon. Being that her stuff usually takes about 3 years to get I should be sorted for the foreseeable future.

The immensely talented Kristin Hersh has announced that her forthcoming solo effort “Wyatt at the Coyote Palace,” a double CD/ book combination, will be released by Omnibus Press in the UK and Australia on October 28, 2016 and in the USA on November 11, 2016.

‘Wyatt’ is the third release in the ground-breaking book-CD format that Hersh began with her previous solo album “Crooked” and Throwing Muses’ 2013 release “Purgatory/Paradise”. Since sharing essays and tour diaries on her own website, she has published the critically acclaimed “Paradoxical Undressing” in the UK (released as “Rat Girl” in the USA), a children’s book “Toby Snax,” and “Don’t Suck, Don’t Die,” a personal account of her long friendship with the late Vic Chesnutt, which earned her rave reviews.

“Wyatt” includes true stories and songs of love and loss, combining Hersh’s humor with the pains and travails of a life spent constantly in motion. Defined by potent guitars, addictive melodies and poignant lyrics, this release is a serious sign of strength and depth, bringing the listener into what the BBC calls Hersh's "dark and dizzy world."

Recorded in at her favorite studio in Portsmouth, RI, with engineer Steve Rizzo at the helm, Hersh performs and creates all instruments and sounds on this 24-track opus, including guitar, bass, drums, piano, horns, cello and even field recordings. While the songs were written in the last 5 years over a turbulent period in her life, the prose was inspired by her autistic son Wyatt and his fascination with an abandoned apartment building inhabited by coyotes. Wyatt often visited and even filmed the coyotes during the recording of the music, yet suddenly his intense fascination came to an end.

Hersh comments, “I had so loved his love of the place. Throwing Muses' drummer, Dave - my best friend since third grade - decided that Wyatt needed to encapsulate his sense memories of the coyote palace, make the experience finite, like bottling a memory. Dave thinks we'll see it again, and Wyatt's love of the place will come back, when the images have been filtered through Wyatt's intense and fascinating psychology.”

Since founding her influential art-punk band Throwing Muses at the age of 14 in Providence, Hersh has spent quality time confounding expectations and breaking rules - both hers and others. From life as the reluctant front person for the Muses to the solo career she launched in 1994, which she swore would never happen, to founding an ambitious and altruistic nonprofit and through to her recent foray into a surprisingly successful new career as an author, Hersh continues to push herself to the boundaries of her artistry and imagination. She founded the power trio 50FOOTWAVE in 2004 and has since released six mini-albums, including the 'Bath White' EP in summer of 2016.

I've been catching up on those shows Donal Dineen did on Newstalk last month. He mentioned the new Si Schroeder album is on the way at last. Can't believe the first was ten years ago.

Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny are apparently working on a new Mozaik album. The last one took years to come out once it was recorded as far I remember though.

New Rednecks album? I know it's not recorded yet but I can't wait for that now that they have announced they've been writing it.

I love the two Mozaik albums (there's a live one too) and the show they did in Vicar St. years ago with support from the Dirty Three was otherworldly.

beg to differ. my abiding memory of mozaik is as a complete buzzkill... at least until the d3 gig in the spirit store the night after.

there's a new Cass McCombs album out at the moment. Came out last week I think. Its in Tower anyway.

I have a little bit of CMcC fatigue at the moment but I'll probably check it out at some stage.

The weeks leading up to the release of ...And Justice For All was the last time I was excited about an album coming out.

I dunno. Maybe I'm dead inside.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Not so much anymore. Slightly worrying, but it comes with age. Always on the look out for new music, but "excited" would be a bit of an overstatement. Interested to hear a new Ariel pink album.........

 

[Theseus Mock]

New Lescop & a live Notwist record to look forward to.

Is this the appropriate forum to put pressure on the Run Ons for an LP? @mark

I guess. I recorded some vocals last week. I may do so again this evening. But I'm not promising anything.

I got pretty excited at the weekend when I found out that Touché Amore and Preoccupations had brought out new albums, and they've both turned out to be really good.
I also got pretty excited about excited about the new Descendents album.
I've been out of the loop with music news so I'm only finding out about most of these releases when they appear on Spotify so it's kind of a nice surprise.

Interested in hearing what the new Warpaint record out later this month is like.

I'd forgotten about this, really looking forward to it. I loved the single. Really enjoyed them in the concert hall too.

I'm actually excited about the new Nofx record too.
