Throwing Muses - Anthology

On the 25th anniversary of Throwing Muses’ debut album release, 4AD issue the first ever compilation of the band’s work, simply entitled ‘Anthology’.

Compiled by the band, the 21 track selection eschews most of the singles in favour of personal favourites, and enjoys a non-chronological sequence which makes for interesting juxtapositions and encourages a reassessment of the music. The initial deluxe edition of 1000 copies comes slipcased with a hardback book featuring notes by Kristin Hersh and a bonus 22 track CD of B-sides and rarities.

Known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox song structures, and surreal lyrics, Throwing Muses were set apart from other contemporary acts thanks to Kristin Hersh’s stark, candid writing style, Tanya Donelly’s pop stylings and vocal harmonies, and David Narcizo’s unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals.

The release will be supported by soon to be announced live dates.
