Kristin Hersh - Clear Pond Sessions

Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2024, Clear Pond Sessions presents never-before-released, stripped-back versions of songs from Kristin Hersh’s acclaimed 2023 album Clear Pond Road. Pressed on white vinyl, the collection transforms the original material into a cinematic road trip—enhanced by additional strings and Hersh’s singular vision as a fiercely independent auteur.

These sessions feel like a series of intimate vignettes, equal parts personal reportage and timeless home movie, reframed with elegance and emotional depth. The result is a life-affirming statement that adds another essential piece to the ever-evolving Hersh jigsaw.

Praised by Uncut as “deliciously dark and yet full of an elegant lightness” and hailed by The Guardian for living her art with rare intensity, Hersh delivers an album that is both haunting and luminous—proof she remains at the height of her powers.
