"slippershell"

Though its physical release in't for a bit yet, Throwing Muses will finally release Purgatory/Paradise, their first full-length in 10 years, on December 3. Now, we get another taste of the album's 32 tracks with "slippershell."

The song starts with a deceptively low-key mix of acoustic guitar and Kristin Hersh's inimitable vocals. As could be expected, however, the dynamics eventually shift, with a loud, intense chorus.

Check out "slippershell" below. Purgatory/Paradise will be packaged as an artbook, with the accompanying songs being delivered on an accompanying CD. It'll be available via It Books in North America. The album is out now digitally.
