The first American act to sign to 4AD, Throwing Muses pioneered an unclassifiable brand of alternative rock since forming in Newport, Rhode Island in the early '80s — built on Kristin Hersh's surreal, candid songwriting and the band's signature shifting tempos and unorthodox structures. Their latest album, Moonlight Concessions (Fire Records, March 2025), has earned widespread acclaim, with Metacritic's critics calling it "comfortably their best of this new incarnation" and Bandcamp Daily praising its "methodic minimalism" and "sparse but never stark aesthetic." See them live at Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 21!
