Kristin Hersh releases new single "Ms Haha"
Kristin Hersh has unveiled their new single "Ms Haha."
The song comes alongside a music video directed by Jonny Sanders, who said this about working on the visual:
“Kristin lives in New Orleans and I live in London so we had to work out a way of her shooting a performance and me reinterpreting that. After speaking with her about her recording process and how audio can be revamped and effected, I wanted to use some of those techniques but in a visual way. I took her footage and re-filmed it all using a projector onto various textures and, more interestingly, a technique called ‘Pepper’s Ghost’ from the mid 19th century. The film is reflected in a 45-degree transparent screen to produce an almost holographic effect, giving it 3D space and distortion. This was placed inside glass objects to further manipulate the image.”
"Ms Haha" comes from Hersh’s forthcoming studio album Clear Pond Road, which arrives on September 8 via Fire Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here. This is the follow-up to Hersh’s 2018 studio album Possible Dust Clouds.
