Thalia Zedek, born in 1961, is a highly influential artist who has made significant contributions to the music scene since the early 80's. Starting her career in Boston, MA, she played with various bands such as "White Women" and "Dangerous Birds". Seeking a more intense sound, she formed "Uzi" in the mid-80's but unfortunately faced internal conflicts leading to their dissolution in 1986.

Following this setback, Thalia joined the renowned NYC band 'Live Skull' as their new front-woman until their split in 1989. Returning to Boston, she then formed the band "Come", which remained active for about a decade and released four LPs.

After Come disbanded officially in 2001, Thalia embarked on a solo career under her own name. Her unique style and powerful vocals have garnered her recognition among similar artists such as *Thalia Zedek Band*, *Come*, *Kristin Hersh*, and many others. With an impressive musical journey spanning several decades, Thalia Zedek continues to captivate audiences with her emotive performances.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release legendary singer/ guitarist Thalia Zedek’s Been Here and Gone, Thrill Jockey is proud to present the album unlike it has ever been heard before: on vinyl, re-mastered by Sarah Register.

Thalia Zedek has been one of the most enduring rock musicians of the past four decades. From her auspicious beginnings in bands Uzi, Live Skull, and Dangerous Birds to her wider recognition in Come, Zedek established herself as a singular voice accruing accolades from critics and contemporaries including J. Mascis, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Mould. Been Here and Gone, her debut solo release originally released on Matador in 2001 on CD, marked a turning point in Zedek’s music. As Come was coming to a close, Zedek began exploring writing and performing as a solo artist, eventually backed by violist David Curry, pianist Mel Lederman (both of which went on to perform with Zedek for two decades), as well as former Come bandmates Chris Brokaw and Daniel Coughlin. The idiosyncrasies of her voice were laid bare for the first time, revealing an even greater depth to her unique songwriting. The more spacious and rich arrangements sprawl and whisper with powerful vulnerability.
