Kristin Hersh, founder of Providence’s seminal alt-rock band Throwing Muses, is back with a new solo record. Recorded in Portsmouth, RI and accompanied by a 64 page book, the double length Wyatt at the Coyote Palace – due out on November 11 from publisher Overlook Omnibus – is a staggering epic of love and brushes with death.
Following the model laid out by Throwing Muses’ Purgatory/Paradise and her last solo album, Crooked, both released as book/album combos, Kristin is exploring what it means to be a storyteller across multiple fronts. The book that accompanies Wyatt… contains prose and artwork alongside the album’s lyrics, offering a simultaneous look into the mind of the artist.
The Wyatt of the book and album’s title is Kristin’s son, and the Coyote Palace is exactly that – an abandoned building overtaken by wild coyotes that her son was obsessed with for a time.
