Oct 24, 2018Whilst ultimately Possible Dust Clouds may fall short of being another truly seminal Kristin Hersh long-player--which will always be hard given the stiff self-competition of her own bounteous back catalogue--the renewed sense of dynamism, diversity and drive within confirms that there is still plenty of propulsive creative fuel left in the tank.

The WireOct 9, 2018If there’s fun in her music, it’s somewhere between the anaesthetising effect of especially her more electric noises and the ecstatic release in her vocal, both too honest to be anything else but awkward. Fundamentally sociopathic. [Nov 2018, p.55]

Oct 8, 2018Possible Dust Clouds finds Kristin Hersh as artistically curious and inventive as ever. Committed to avoiding easy choices musically and lyrically, she remains intent on exploring the murky complexities of the mind and continuing to make the best work of her career. She is an artist that’s always evolving, and yet again the results are often dazzling and always fantastically bewildering.

Classic Rock MagazineOct 4, 2018After 30 years behind the mic, Hersh's vocals have gained extra grit and lost none of their eerie magic. [Oct 2018, p.89]
