Kristin Hersh’s new single “Ms Haha” is out now via Fire Records with an accompanying video directed by Jonny Sanders. The track arrives ahead of Hersh’s forthcoming full-length record Clear Pond Road, out September 8. Regarding the track, Hersh shared, “Mr. Bones is my man and Ms Haha is me, ripped off from a Truman Capote story. So heavy. Love is goofy gravity.”

The music video features manipulated, distorted visuals of Hersh performing the track on guitar. Of the video, Sanders reflects, “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.”
