Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Throwing Muses is the first Throwing Muses album since 1996's Limbo, and the first to feature founder member Tanya Donelly--later of the Breeders and Belly--since the 1991 classic The Real Ramona (Donelly has not formally rejoined the group, but is a guest backing vocalist on about half the tracks). With this incarnation of Kristin Hersh's band fleshed out by founding drummer David Narcizo and long-serving bass player Bernard Georges, it is perhaps unsurprising that Throwing Muses feels like a band reacquainting themselves with their oeuvre by stripping it back to basics. This, in keeping with its no-nonsense title, is Throwing Muses at their most raw, scabrous and powerful.

This, in keeping with its no-nonsense title, is Throwing Muses at their most raw, scabrous and powerful.
The closest relatives Throwing Muses has among the group's peerless back catalogue are the edgy, untitled 1986 debut album, with its howled vocals and peculiar time signatures, and the fabulous 1992 catharsis Red Heaven. Like those two albums, Throwing Muses contains none of the moments of delicate prettiness that lightened the likes of The Real Ramona and University. Everything about Throwing Muses is on full throttle here--Hersh's untamed voice and guitar, Narcizo's hyperactive drumming--and sounds as great as ever. --Andrew Mueller
CD Description
Legendary indie rockers reform for their first new album inseven years. A raw, ragged burst of punk rock energy and sassy pop songwriting, quickly recorded with a minimal production job. Released to coincide with frontwoman Kristin Hersh's solo album 'The Grotto', this should not be confused with their debut album, which is also eponymously titled.
