Strings is an EP recording by Kristin Hersh, released in 1994 (see 1994 in music). It peaked at #60 on the Official UK Singles Chart.

All songs written by Kristin Hersh except where noted.

The original UK release (4AD BAD 4006 CD) featured only tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5. Tracks 6, 7 and 8 originally featured as extra tracks on the CD and 12 inch Your Ghost single (4AD BAD 4001).

'The Key' appeared on Secret Tracks 2, a cassette given away with Select. "I had this instrumental to finish but I wasn't hearing any words," Hersh said in the accompanying notes. "Then I opened this Krazy Kat comic from the '30s and there were all these beautiful words. So I re-wrote the song, took it apart, put it back together – and then I opened up the book again and none of those words were there. Honest to God! It was like this song was just kicking me in the head: 'Goddammit, whaddya need?! Alright, we'll write it in a comic book for ya, dipshit!'"
