Throwing Muses is the name of the 1986 debut album of the band Throwing Muses, according to 4AD, the label that released the album.[1] The band itself, however, considers the album to be untitled, with Throwing Muses the name they give to another album released in 2003.

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 the Pixies.

All-Music Guide calls the album a "powerful debut" whose "startling collision of punk energy, folky melodicism, and Kristin Hersh's mercurial voice and lyrics...puts the work of most self-consciously 'tortured' artists to shame." The review praises the record's "fluid, effortless emotional shifts"--also described as "violent, vibrant mood swings".[2]
