Throwing Muses
<3 After a short break over the chrissy hols Magic Portals is back with Throwing Muses 1986 self titled record. Released on British independent label 4AD. This was the first album by an American band to be released on 4AD, which had concentrated primarily on British-based acts up to this point. The release marked a shift in the label’s direction; a year later 4AD would sign Pixies based in part on the band’s connection to the Muses, and by the mid-1990s much of the label’s roster was made up of American bands.
All the songs on the album were written by Kristin Hersh, with the exception of “Green”, written by Tanya Donelly. The album was produced by Gil Norton, who went on to produce albums for Pixies. The band considers the album to be untitled, with Throwing Muses the name they give to another album released in 2003.
The album was originally released in the UK by 4AD in August 1986 on LP, CD and cassette. Sometime around the early 1990s, the album went out of print, as plans were made by the band’s American label, Sire Records to issue the album for the first time in the USA, along with 1987’s Chains Changed EP, which had also never seen American release. <3
