Built on a brisk acoustic strum with a guitar sub-melody underpinning proceedings, it’s an unfolding tale of social awareness from a blurred sub-conscious. ‘Summer Of Love’ began as a bet with a guy for a dollar that revolved around the idea that the seasons don’t change us. The album opener, it’s a haunting baroque overture, bowed and brooding. ‘Libretto’s strings offset the acoustic ambience, the hot and cold of longing at the very heart of it, a thematic driver filed with warmth in a safe haven lubricated by tequila. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in the differing South Coast environs of The Gulf Of Mexico and Southern California, ‘\u003ci\u003eMoonlight Concessions\u003c\/i\u003e’ pulls from the star clusters that light both, generating optimism and hope in varying degrees. Hersh explains, “In New Orleans the stars look greenish-blue, as it’s below sea level and swamp-lit. But on Moonlight Beach, they glow icy white. All these songs were written in these two glowy places, which helped our sonic technique find itself.”","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50935828513046,"sku":"RMX-60363","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/7aee8cde6580751ff70d7a90a80f0b23.jpg?v=1768311754","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/throwing-muses-moonlight-concessions-2026-repress","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
