Possible Dust Clouds by Kristin Hersh

Out October 5 on Fire Records. It's the 10th solo album from the Throwing Muses frontwoman, though it could be very different than her past solo sets. For one thing, Hersh isn't playing all of the instruments herself—and having a full band seems to have led Hersh to create a louder, more aggressive and sonically adventurous record.
