Song of the Day # 677 Throwing Muses


I gave Throwing Muses first album a play late on Wednesday night. You have to be in the right mood for it. It's a very particular record, detailing as it does much of leader Kristin Hershes' teenage emotional trauma but at the same time its a very good one though too odd and diffuse in its sound. No real surprise then that 4AD labelmates and fellow Boston band Pixies seized the commercial initiative from them. Here's my favourite track from the record. A great Rock and Roll song that seems to be out an urban panic attack. Be careful out there! A live version here but here's a link to the recorded version.
