Sugar On Blackstone

Description

The streets of Providence and the memories attached to them traverse Sugar On Blackstone, an album where Kristin Hersh explores the links between memory, mourning, and childhood through a writing of great sobriety. Recorded at Stable Sound Studio with drummer Rob Ahlers and cellist Pete Harvey, the record favors stripped-down arrangements that highlight the musician's unique voice and the contained tension of her compositions. The eleven songs evoke both the places and the people who still inhabit them in memory, creating a dialogue between intimate experiences and everyday observations without yielding to lyricism. Published by Fire Records in 2026, Sugar On Blackstone was recorded in just a few days, under conditions close to live recording, a choice that preserves the spontaneity of the performances and reinforces the intimate character of the album.
