{"product_id":"kristin-hersh-sugar-on-blackstone-fire-records","title":"Kristin Hersh - Sugar On Blackstone (Fire Records)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA darker yet delicately rendered work from Kristin Hersh, Sugar On Blackstone explores life and death, enrichment and poverty, and the small but defining moments of childhood that continue to echo through adult life. Deeply personal and emotionally expansive, the album reflects on the lasting bonds between musicians, family and friends, and the way certain sounds, places and memories can suddenly bring someone vividly back into focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRecorded at Stable Sound Studios earlier this year, Hersh is joined by longtime collaborators Rob Ahlers (50FOOTWAVE) on drums and cellist Pete Harvey (Throwing Muses). The result is a stark yet warm collection of songs that balances fragility with force, intimacy with tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRooted in Providence, Rhode Island, Sugar On Blackstone draws heavily from Hersh’s reflections on home, displacement and memory. Revisiting the streets and parks of her childhood, the record traces the emotional weight of returning to familiar places shaped by grief, survival and resilience. The album’s title references Blackstone Boulevard and Hope Street in Providence, locations that become symbolic throughout the record of both loss and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWritten in the aftermath of personal tragedy and against the backdrop of constant travel, wildfires and restless movement across America, the album carries an unsettled atmosphere throughout. Yet within that darkness, Hersh finds moments of tenderness and connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA poignant and expansive record that radiates strength in vulnerability, ‘Sugar on Blackstone’ stands as another essential entry in Kristin Hersh’s acclaimed and ever-evolving body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDark Eyed Junco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMoths\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTicking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSilver Beach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePink Nightgowns\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e101 Run\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSundial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSnow White Lies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDom In Orange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e'72 Stingray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSamson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersion: Turquoise Vinyl LP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReleased: 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e September 2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Number: FIRELP836\/0809236005748\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: New Sealed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunflower Records","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise Vinyl LP","offer_id":58988075417925,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":58988085576005,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8268\/6533\/files\/kristinhershsugaronblackstone1.jpg?v=1787608837","url":"https:\/\/sunflowerrecords.co.uk\/products\/kristin-hersh-sugar-on-blackstone-fire-records","provider":"Sunflower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
