Throwing Muses Release 25th Aniversary Compilation

Throwing Muses will release their first ever compilation to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band’s 1986 self-titled debut album release. The compilation will be titled Anthology and will be released on September 5th.

The compilation will have a twenty-one track selection that 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 limited release comes in a hardback book with a bonus twenty-two track CD of B-sides and rarities.

Founding member Kristin Hersh had this to say ”It’s beautiful and substantial, thanks to awesome David Narcizo / Lakuna Design – 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 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.”
