Black Pearl is the brand new album from 50 Foot Wave: Kristin Hersh's other band - active since 2003, with fellow Throwing Muses member Bernard Georges on bass and drummer Rob Ahlers. A sonic trip from the heavy, echoey riff of Staring Into The Sun with all of its grunge melancholy and dronecore menace to the perfectly baroque Hog Child with its spidery guitar that dissolves into motorik bass and drums.
Hailed in various quarters as an outlet for the material deemed too weird or wild for Throwing Muses, their menacing, stalking, spirals of lean, hungry riffs, set alight as feedback rips into the fragile melody.
50 Foot Wave continue to traverse the rigid tension of their own sound. They remain detuned and discordant at will.
A group that runs laps around most rock bands Pitchfork
50 Foot wave are infinitely harder hitting and blunter than anything Hersh has produced previously BBC Music
