Throwing Muses: “Bright Yellow Gun” (4AD)

A bright and breezy run-along classic, this sees Kristin Hersh in fine form and flaunting a fascination with a somewhat light Sixtyish melody. Essentially, ‘Bright Yellow Gun’ is about the idea that you need a drop of the poison that kills you in order to stay alive. It’s fitting argument against abstinence of all kinds as we immerse ourselves in the Winter Solstice festivities.
