Throwing Muses

To mark the 25th anniversary of the release of their debut album, ‘Untitled’, Throwing Muses have announced that they will release their first ever compilation. Entitled ‘Anthology’ and compiled by the band’s current line-up – frontwoman Kristin Hersh, drummer David Narcizo, and bassist Bernard Georges – the 43 track collection will be released by 4AD on 5 Sep. Spread across two discs, the first pulls together most of their singles, while the second features b-sides and rarities.

Announcing the release, Hersh said: “[‘Anthology’ is] beautiful and substantial, thanks to awesome [design by] David Narcizo – a chunky, 28 page hardcover booklet and two CDs – one CD consisting of a hand-selected retrospective track-list by Kristin, David and Bernard, and on the other the collected b-sides, including the original [1987 compilation of 4AD artists] ‘Lonely Is An Eyesore’ version of ‘Fish’, the long-lost ‘Hillbilly’ and the original version of ‘Back Road (Matter Of Degrees)’. And yes, the release will be supported by Throwing Muses live dates”.
