the first single to be lifted from kristin hersh's dazzling new album, 'learn to sing like a star'. the former throwing muses and 50 foot wave frontwoman presents her best work yet with 'in shock' - an ep backed with three additional tracks that will not appear on the album. twenty years and fifteen albums into her career, the dazzling disarray of hersh's early work has given way to a more matured accomplishment. her voice has grown deeper and richer and the songs now take flight without leaving artist and listener seasick. the gift that once overwhelmed hersh in her early years has been harnessed - with craft, with age - to magnificent effect. 'in shock' is a bold, spacious, sumptuous record with emphatic energy and fervour - '"when you're head over heels in shock" cries hersh on the title track, producing an endlessly believable passion in her voice than ever before. featuring beautiful strings, played by british friends, martin and kim mccarrick and accompaniment on drums from throwing muses' david narcizo, hersh has enrolled the services of those closest to her to deliver her most established record to date. 'in shock' offers a sample from an album rich in emotion and diversity - displaying a practiced and continually challenging side to hersh's musicality. cd single only on 4ad.
