Another blast from the '90s past...
On Nov. 11 (full release
date, book release is Oct. 28), Throwing Muses will release their first new music
in 10 years, Purgatory/Paradise. It will be released as an art book with CD by Harper Collins on
their It Books (US) and Friday Project (UK) imprints.
Throwing Muses was the first US band signed by 4AD, pioneers of 1990s underground rock and touted by critics. They scattered after an eponymous 2003 album, finding their way back together to play art shows, headline Primavera, or record another demo.

A decade without a studio
album led to years of writing, of making, of hearing this music. The result
is a fractured album, coming together in ideas and patterns, big beyond the
scope of rock. Purgatory/Paradise is
a return to an uncompromising approach. It embraces all Throwing Muses were and
still are, without ever trying to sound like a Throwing Muses album.
The Purgatory/Paradise book, designed by drummer Dave Narcizo, is a lush college of lyrics, photographs, and
writing by Kristin Hersh. In addition to the CD’s 32
tracks, every book comes with downloadable content featuring commentary,
instrumentals, and the album plus art in multiple digital formats.
Along with the book, Purgatory/Paradise will be released as
an interactive e-book/music app, and digitally on all the usual outlets
including direct from the Throwing Muses website.
Throwing Muses are Kristin Hersh, David Narcizo and Bernard
Georges.
