1986 studio album by Throwing Muses
Throwing Muses is the 1986 debut album of the band Throwing Muses, released on British independent label 4AD.[1] 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.[2] 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 Throwing Muses, and by the mid-1990s much of the label's roster was made up of American bands.[citation needed]
