Purgatory/Paradise is a revolutionary fusion of music and text from seminal indie rock band Throwing Muses.

Kristin Hersh, Throwing Muses's lead singer/songwriter, is one of the most well-respected musicians to emerge from the 1980s indie rock scene. Her work has influenced artists such as Cat Power, Alanis Morrissette, Lush, and Sleater-Kinney, as well as Riot Grrrls everywhere.

Ten years in the making, Hersh and Throwing Muses's 32-track album Purgatory/Paradise is the centerpiece of this deluxe 64-page book which also contains more than two dozen photographs and artwork by Kristin Hersh and band member Dave Narcizo; lyrics for each song; stories and essays that accompany each track written by Hersh; and instructions for downloads of exclusive content, including demos and outtakes.

Review:
Praise for Kristin Hersh: "It's almost impossible to imagine the visceral bleats of singers like Corin Tucker or Marissa Paternoster without Kristin Hersh."--Pitchfork

"Hersh is a fearless rock innovator."--"New York Times"

Praise for "Rat Girl" "Hersh has pretty much been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale...extremely well written."--Huffington Post

"Sensitive and emotionally raw... it's also wildly funny."--New York Times Book Review

"An original beauty."--Mary Gaitskill, author of "Veronica" and "Don't Cry"

Ms. Hersh's prose delves into the memories that occasioned the songs, mingling tour incidents, childhood trauma, philosophical musings and hardheaded life lessons--The New York Times

Awesome.--Flavorwire

Triumphant . . . fresh and expansive . . . What is clear is that this record, and book, which call into question what records and books and can and should do, how they can and should interact, still delivers in a basic, thrilling way.--Popmatters

Praise for Kristin Hersh: It s almost impossible to imagine the visceral bleats of singers like Corin Tucker or Marissa Paternoster without Kristin Hersh. --Pitchfork"

Hersh is a fearless rock innovator. --"New York Times""
