To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Throwing Muses present the reissue of their self-titled debut, originally released in 1986 and long out of print. The Rhode Island band of Kristin Hersh, Tanya Donelly, Leslie Langston, and David Narcizo released this 10 track gem while they were still in their teens to widespread critical acclaim and astonishing reviews. "Throwing Muses" is a masterpiece of jarring time signatures and visceral emotion that completely shifted 4AD's identity away from UK goth-pop, laying the groundwork for 1990s American alternative rock. The first American band ever signed to 4AD, they went on to release seven studio albums and two major EPs on the label. 40 years on, "Throwing Muses" has not lost one atom of its ability to thrill, mesmerize, unnerve, and surprise. Remastered by Kevin Vanbergen and featuring original artwork by Chris Bigg (v23).
