Throwing Muses to celebrate 25 years since their debut record
Wed, 29 Jun 2011
The 25th anniversary of Throwing Muses debut album, 'Untitled' will be celebrated with 21-track compilation entitled 'Anthology' that has been compiled by the band themselves. The initial limited release will also come with a hard-back book and a bonus disc with 22 additional B-sides and rarities, reports Slicing Up Eyeballs.
Due for release on Sept 5th through indie record imprint 4AD the release will be supported by a series of live dates, although it is still unclear whether the shows will include Throwing Muses co-founder, Tanya Donelly who left the band in 1991.
The Muses finished work earlier this year on a new record, although it is understood Donelly was not involved.
In light of the release of Anthology, lead singer and guitarist 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."
