Far superior to its predecessor, Strange Angels, which was overly poppy and far too whimsical at times, Sky Motel shows Hersh at her most objective and consummate. It's not her finest work, but if one prefers the less emotionally-fuelled side of Kristin's work, then this is the best one to have. Here she successfully combines the rock-pop dynamism of Throwing Muses circa The Real Ramona, with the more thoughtful reflective side displayed on the first and best solo album, Hips And Makers. Lots of strong and imposing melodies, Echo and A Cleaner Light being classic rock-pop numbers. The centrepiece of the album, and the highlight of it, is Cathedral Heat, with its brooding guitars and sharp percussion. It contains some of Kristin's finest guitar work. Halfway through she breaks off into a superb foot-stomping riff, almost glam in its insistence. A couple of the tracks - Costa Rica, San Francisco - have an almost playful charm to them, a mild psychedelic twist. Things become slower and darker during the second half of the album, but she still keeps a tight rein on her muse, with haunting numbers like Husk, Caffeine and Faith. There are a lot of atmospheres created here. The colourful cover of the album reflects the multi-coloured variety of the music contained within. For the more casual listener, this would be the most enjoyable listening experience of all the solo albums. ### ⭐⭐⭐ She has things to share , intimate thoughts and feelings *by G***I on 16 March 2003* ... It's a direct revealing of her soul to the listener , one would say and indeed he would be right . A complicated musician none the less , Hersh is no newcomer to the female rock scene . She is being fronting The Throwing Muses for years now and has already released five albums as a solo artist . Her records owe much of their charm to the power of her personallity . She is a woman who has " battled her own demons " and won , saw visions and illusions which caused her physical pain while writing many of her songs and all that long before all these female musicians started pretending to have 'mental disorders' just so they could sell some records . She is the real thing . She has always been honest with her public and she deserves credit for it . Never really did she seem to care about topping the charts or anything even remotely close to that . Much of her previous stuff is totally anticommercial , especially one of The Muses' latest releases , 1996's Limbo . " Sky Motel " now is a record as enigmatic as they go . It contains a number of melodies locked into their own private universe ( " Costa Rica " , " San Francisco " ) . What is really difficult to understand is the mood the gifted singer is in while singing lyrics like " God bless the ugly / cheap champagne and blackjack on the bed / i was born in America / born with the fists of a saint ... " . Is she sad , cynical , dissapointed , happy or maybe all these together ? Ofcourse that doesn't mean that Hersh's virtues as a singer-songwritter aren't many because they really are and always present in each and everyone of her albums . " A Cleaner Light " brings in mind some of The Muses' best moments like " Bright Yellow Gun " , " Hush " is mysterious and haunting while " Cafeine " is melancholic and in it's own way romantic ( " I feel your heart beating / i hear your soft breathing " ) . In conlusion ? ... Well it's actually hard to end up to a single simple conlusion about singers like Hersh . The music , the tortured voice , the lyrics all add up to something deeply personal which is natural not to sound appealing for everyone . One thing is sure though : artists like that shouldn't be ignored . Understanding the essence of their work is a challenge , exploring their thoughs is an experience . --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60521233-sky-motel](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60521233-sky-motel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
