CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com 50 Foot Wave is the mark of a woman without a shred of complacency. Former Throwing Muses front-woman Kristin Hersh is back after years of solo work and sporadic reunions. This new project finds Hersh, along with Muses bassist Bernard Georges and new drummer Rob Ahlers, cranking up and streamlining. Their self-titled EP debut was a 16 minute blast of punk rock aggression matched with Hersh's lyrical dexterity and intense vocal approach. Golden Ocean extends the formula to end up with 11 songs in 35 minutes. Always a master of idiosyncratic connections, Hersh combines disparate elements into cohesive songs, giving the listener a new view of the world--or at least insight into hers. "Long Painting," "Dog Days," "Ginger Park," and "Clara Bow" are all good examples of her fury born of experience. In fact, nearly all the songs here deal with the life-learned oxymoron of, "the more you know, the less you know". Both angry and affirming, this release shows a band gaining strength with each offering. --Robert Arambel Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMartha K. O'Connell, You Rock My World David Chris Dalton | Raleigh, NC United States | 05/22/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Don't sound like Throwing Muses, don't sound like Sonic Youth, don't sound like X, and it don't sound like The Pixies. Does sound like Iron Maiden and Motorhead. I know that's NOT what K had in mind. Maybe Rob did a little, though...heh, heh, heh... I love this very, VERY muchly. My friend Dave already ruined my first copy upon borrowing it. What could it have made him do, to do whatever he did to it? Guess I need to get copy #2 when I pick up S-K's, "The Woods" on Tuesday... If you don't like rock 'n' roll, heavy metal, punk rock, you will NOT like this. If you like your standard-issue, mediocre ADULT-CONTEMPORARY garbage that most "mature" listeners kid themselves into believing actually emotionally speaks to their years of living and wisdom, then go pick up one of the many millions of records by pansies like Jack Johnson or Sheryl Crow. Fall to you knees and repent if you please!!!" Rock and roll alexander laurence | Los Angeles, CA | 04/19/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have heard most this these 50 Footwave recordings and they seems very listenable. They are very appealing. I am not so familiar with Throwing Muses or Kristin Hersh's solo work. But I heard this record and the other one, and it seems like an amazing band. There is really nobody doing music like this. It's aggressive music with female vocals. It has big guitar riffs and screaming vocals. I just love it. I don't know enough about it. It reminds me a little of Wire "Pink Flag." It's original music that is reaching people out there in the online community.
