The Breeders



The Breeders are an American alternative rock band formed in 1988 by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Throwing Muses' Tanya Donelly. The band has experienced a number of line-up changes; the current line-up consists of Kim Deal (vocals and guitar), her twin sister Kelley Deal (guitar and vocals), Jose Medeles (drums and percussion) and Mando Lopez (bass guitar); Kim Deal has been the band's sole continual member. Their first album, Pod (1990), received critical acclaim but was not commercially successful. The Breeders' most successful album, 1993's Last Splash, produced the hit single "Cannonball".

Information
Pod was released on 28 May 1990 by 4AD and Elektra records in the U.S. and UK. Although the album did not chart in the U.S., it was a minor hit in the UK, peaking at #22 on the UK Albums Chart.

The album did, nevertheless, receive much acclaim from mainstream critics; The New York Times' Karen Schoemer wrote: "The angular melodies, shattered tempos and screeching dynamics recall elements of each of the women's full-time bands, but Pod has a smart, innovative edge all its own." Heather Phares of All Music Guide hailed the album as "a vibrantly creative debut," and praised its "creative songwriting, immediate production...and clever arrangements." Phares compared Pod favorably to the Pixies' Bossanova and the Throwing Muses' Hunkpapa; Deal and Donelly's respective bands' releases at that time. Rolling Stone magazine, in their profile of The Breeders, called the album "hazy and creepily erotic...[Pod was] just what college radio had been waiting for."

The praise, however, was not uniequivocal; The Village Voice's Robert Christgau derided the album, calling it an "art project", implying that The Breeders didn't "[sound] like a band." In his book The Rough Guide to Rock, Peter Buckley downplays comparisons with the Pixies, suggesting the album is "far too plodding for that."In The A to X of Alternative Music, Steve Taylor says, "Deal's songs [on Pod] are not of the same quality as her Pixies work."

In an 1992 interview with Melody Maker, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain named Pod as one of the records that influenced his life: "It’s an epic that will never let you forget your ex-girlfriend."Subsequently, in August 1993, after the release of their second album Last Splash, the Breeders were invited to open for Nirvana at several venues in Europe. In July 1995, in their tenth anniversary issue,Alternative Press ranked Pod number 39 of the "Top 99 of '85-'95", a list of the best albums released during the magazine's years in print. In July 2007, in a chat forum interview, Pod's engineer Steve Albini revealed that he considered the album to be amongst his best works.

Information
Thanks to good timing and some great singles, the Breeders' second album, Last Splash, turned them into the alternative rock stars that Kim Deal's former band, the Pixies, always seemed on the verge of becoming. Building on Safari's driving, polished sound, Last Splash is half-brilliant singles and half-unfinished, uninspired ideas. When it's good, it's very, very good: "Cannonball"'s instantly catchy collage of bouncy bass, rhythmic stops and starts, and singsong vocals; the sweetly sexy "Divine Hammer"; and swaggering "Saints" are among the Breeders' finest moments, and deserved all of the airplay they received. And the charming country-pop of "Drivin' on 9," "I Just Wanna Get Along"'s spiky punk-pop, and the bittersweet "Invisible Man" proved Last Splash had a bit of depth. But underdeveloped snippets such as "Roi" and "No Aloha" drag down the album's momentum; likewise, the band tries to stretch their range on the rambling, cryptic "Mad Lucas" and "Hag," but neither quite comes together as a full-fledged song. Though instrumentals such as "S.O.S." and "Flipside" showcase the Breeders' chops and some nifty production tricks, they feel like filler; worst of all, Last Splash features an inferior, plodding new version of Safari's soaring "Do You Love Me Now" that emphasizes the album's unevenness. One of the definitive alternative rock albums of the '90s, Last Splash is equally inspired and infuriating; that it was the Breeders' last album of that decade makes it even more frustrating.

11. "T and T" – 1:57
12. "Huffer" – 2:09

Information
For most of the '90s, the Breeders seemed resigned to being just a part of alternative rock's mythology: a lightning-in-a-bottle success story that helped define the era's sound and spawned a classic single before disappearing into substance abuse and a severe case of writer's block. By the end of the decade, hearing new material from Kim Deal and company seemed about as likely as a new My Bloody Valentine album, so the fact that Title TK, their long-awaited return, exists at all seems more than a little miraculous. In a weird way, the long, long wait for them to resurface works in their favor — at this point, it's welcome to hear anything from them. After a nine-year (!) wait, a new Breeders album is just a nice addition to what's going on in indie rock instead of its salvation. From its very name, Title TK (journalistic shorthand for "title to come") reflects this: it's a surprisingly low-key, self-effacing return that doesn't feel like an attempt at reclaiming Last Splash's glory. Instead, it blends the stripped-down sounds of Pod and the Amps' Pacer into a collection of strangely intimate, feminine garage rock. Steve Albini's quick- and cheap-sounding production throws a spotlight on the weathered, offhand quality of Kim Deal's voice — which is more sandpaper than sugar nowadays — as well as every quirk in the band's playing. Even revved-up guitar rushes like "Little Fury" and "Huffer" have a little vulnerability lurking around the edges, and on the sweet "Too Alive," it sounds like you're in the garage with the band. There's a fascinating duality to Title TK, from the way that nearly every song mixes and blends Kim's and Kelley's not-quite-identical vocals to the way it switches between sweet, playfully spiky songs like "Son of Three" and "Forced to Drive" and dark, mysterious tracks. With its brooding, druggy allure, "The She" recalls Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," and "Put On a Side" and the aptly named "Sinister Foxx" have a sexy menace that the Breeders haven't explored since Pod. "Off You," Title TK's first single, is about as far from "Cannonball" as the band can get, a dreamy, breathy ballad that sounds intimate but masks its feelings in beautifully cryptic imagery. Very much a take-it-or-leave-it work, Title TK doesn't even try to live up to fans' inflated expectations of what a Breeders album should be — though the band may not have spent the entire nine years they were gone crafting this album, it feels like the only album they could make after such a long wait. Title TK isn't always a flattering portrait of the Breeders, but it is an admirably honest one.

Information
The Deal sisters joined by Mando Lopez and Joese Medels are back with a new Breeders record the first in six years. This will make 4 albums in 18 years. Steve Albini is the producer of the band last two albums and is back for another go on this record. The band is best known for their song “Cannonball” from their album “The Last Splash.” For the young people, get on the youtube as it was a great song from the early 90s and did a lot for all of us and I am sure it is in a videogame or two these days as well. I know it gets me fired up.

If you were like me you had to go back and listen to the bands last album 2002s “Title TK.” The album was a strange and drippy adventure and was a huge departure from the first two record. “Mountain Battles” goes even further away from those two records. But, that is what 18 years will do to you.

The record takes some getting used to and settled into. The first listen just might not do it justice. The first thing you hear when you start the album is a spaced out riff and Kim or Kelly Deal tell us that they “can feel it.” It is hard to image ever hearing Breeders going prog but they have. Indie prog anyone? Then the album turns to “Bang On” which, is essential really heavy and lo-fi drums over some really strange lyrics about love. “Night of Joy” and “We're Gonna Rise” are two slow burners and at times do sound nice but they to easily blend into each other. “German Studies” is fun because it is sung in what sounds like German.

Then things start to get really confusing with “Regalame Esta Noche” as the band goes to Spanish. They went from German to Spanish in four tracks a bold move. The records picks up toward the end with “No Way” and “It's The Love” as both kick things up with some pop/punk sensibilities.

“Mountain Battles” is a strange album. It is arranged in a really confusing but different way and the two songs in other languages throw us off even more. The band were having fun making the record. It sounds like they just went in there and let it all out. It takes some time to getting used to but fans will be happy with the results.
