Produced by the talented Kristin Hersh at Steve Rizzo’s Stable Sound Studio in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Moonlight Concessions captures the essence of daily life through a captivating lens. This album is a rich tapestry of snippets, reminiscent of Raymond Carver’s Short Cuts, where overheard conversations and vivid recollections intertwine to reflect the gradual maturation of our times. Each track pulsates with the signature energy of the Muses.
The standout track, ‘Drugstore Drastic’, unfolds like a soliloquy encountered on the way to an enchanting rendezvous, built on an upbeat acoustic strum and a delicate guitar sub-melody. It offers a poignant narrative of social consciousness emerging from a hazy subconscious. Meanwhile, the album opener ‘Summer of Love’ began as a playful wager about the seasons’ impact on us, presenting a hauntingly beautiful baroque overture that sets the tone for the entire album.
