It’s a haunting baroque overture, bowed and brooding. “He said we aren’t just planted here, stagnant, we’re in flux, responding to love like octopuses moving across the ocean floor. Turns out he was right, and I still owe him a buck.” Produced by @kristinhersh at Steve Rizzo’s Stable Sound Studio in Portsmouth, Rhode Island."Tickets for Throwing Muses' upcoming shows are currently available through official outlets.Also Read: Regurgitator 2026 Australian tour: Ticket info, dates, venues, and more exploredBad Omens 2026 North American arena tour: Presale code, dates, venues, and more exploredThe Whitlams expand 2026 orchestral tour: New dates, venues, and more explored
