50FOOTWAVE Los Angeles, California
This LA-based power trio formed in 2003 by Kristin Hersh and Bernard Georges of
Throwing Muses (with Rob Ahlers on
drums), was named after the lowest note audible to
human ears. The band was intended as an outlet for the noise/math rock pieces that
didn't fit the aesthetic of Throwing Muses or Kristin Hersh's solo work.
This year's Bath White is their sixth release.

Clear Pond Road
by Kristin Hersh
supported by 52 fans who also own “Human”
been living with this record since release day, and it has really got to me: been a fan since the 1980s but his one feels different, more personal. Then I watched spellbound in Glasgow last night as Kristin and cello player Pete Harvey brought these songs alive in front of me. I think I forgot to breathe in some parts. Clear Pond Road is a stunning achievement.
