Clear Pond Road: Limited Clear Vinyl LP

Kristin Hersh's new album is like a cinematic journey on the road. It features a series of personal stories from a highly independent artist, wrapped in rich layers of all - consuming strings and mellotron sounds. This is a major milestone in her career full of creative breakthroughs and inspiring ideas. It's an elegant personal account, like a home movie frozen in time. In previous works of Throwing Muses and 50FOOTWAVE, the contrast between light and dark was key to the drama. But this solo album is different. It's more introspective, quieter yet outspoken, with background noise adding an air of awkwardness and atmosphere. Kristin says, 'Passion here sounds less angry and more grateful, sweeter and sadder. And it's still very much alive, whether it's over car engines, rain in New England, whistling ducks, or wind chimes in New Orleans, it all sounds so nostalgic to me.' 'Clear Pond Road' is a life - affirming statement, a crucial piece of the puzzle, a very personal memoir from street signs to snapshots. It shows a late - blooming and coming - of - age of an independent icon. The record is both intimate and far - reaching, mostly written within Hersh's home, making it even more personal.

To enjoy this Clear Pond Road vinyl record, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable and use the tonearm to set the needle on the start of the record. As it plays, sit back and soak in the unique sounds. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and remove the vinyl. Store it in its protective sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid touching the playing surface with your fingers to prevent dirt and oils from affecting the sound quality. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently clean it.
