50 Ratgever

Released thirty years ago in 1987, the Roland D-50 Linear Arithmetic (LA) Synthesizer is easily one of the most influential keyboards ever made. The D-50 helped to define the sound of the late 80’s with its instantly recognizable mix of sampled attacks and synthesized sustaining waveforms (that’s LA!) plus chorus, reverb, and EQ. It’s the basis of classic tracks in a wide range of genres including Synth Pop, New Wave, New Jack and R&B, plus countless film scores.

'Black Pearl' is 50 Foot Wave's 2022 album: Kristin Hersh's 'other' band - active since 2003, with fellow Throwing Muses' member Bernard Georges on bass and drummer Rob Ahlers. A sonic trip from the heavy, echoey riff of 'Staring Into the Sun' with all of its grunge melancholy and dronecore menace to the perfectly baroque 'Hog Child' with its spidery guitar that dissolves into motorik bass and drums. Hailed in various quarters as 'an outlet for the material deemed too weird or wild for Throwing Muses', their 'menacing, stalking, spirals of lean, hungry riffs, set alight' as 'feedback rips into the fragile melody'.
