Title: Giant Drag Channels Throwing Muses
Product review: Annie Hardy, Giant Drag's brains and brawn, grew up in the '80s on the opposite coast during the best years of alt-rock's creative and intelligent Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly's Throwing Muses recordings and tours. So two decades later how does Hardy so effectively recreate some of the best of the East Coast's (Rhode Island at that!) Throwing Muses' harmonies, lyrics, ironies, humor, and sound?I'm not a music critic; I simply listen to music and have been for decades. I saw, and with every audience was mesmerized by, the Throwing Muses and Belly and Kristin Hersh and used to smile as my then three-year-old son, now 21, sang along in his car seat to Hunkpapa's "Devils' Roof" with the mistaken lyric "I have two dads" instead of "I have two heads."Repeated playings of Annie Hardy's "Hearts and Unicorns" bring all that and more back to me. Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly would be proud of Hardy as will you if you give "Hearts and Unicorns" a chance.
