The Breeders - Mountain Battles
Several years down the line since last time around and The Breeders once again make their lazy, hazy pop ways sound like one big joyous buzz... 2ser Supporters have the chance to win a copy all week on Breakfast, Overdrive and Static.
The Breeders
Mountain Battles is the release of the first Breeders album since 2002's Title TK.
By turns goofy, groovy, melancholy, strung-out, catchy, atmospheric and - at times - impossibly lovely, Mountain
Battles underlines that Kim Deal is a songwriter and a musician of rare intuition. Her songs move from offhand
charm to emotional truth with casual grace, balancing scuffed-up noise against fraught silence; timeless structures
against strange new shapes. And throughout, of course, there's Kim's unique voice - languid, urgent, bruised
and beautiful.
In short, Mountain Battles captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like Pod and Last
Splash, and still manages to break new ground.
Mountain Battles was recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Erika Larson at Stagg Street,
Manny Nieto at Manny's Studio, at Refraze in Dayton and by Ben Mumphrey in the Basement.
The band were: Kelley Deal, Kim Deal and Title TK veterans Jose Medeles and Mando Lopez.
The Breeders will be playing live all over the world in 2008, with a trip to Sydney on August 2, playing The Metro.
