- This Spring sees the release of the first Breeders album since 2002's Title TK.By turns goofy, groovy, melancholy, strung-out, catchy, atmospheric and - attimes - impossibly lovely, Mountain Battles underlines that Kim Deal is asongwriter and a musician of rare intuition. Her songs move from offhand charmto emotional truth with casual grace, balancing scuffed-up noise against fraughtsilence; timeless structures against strange new shapes. And throughout, ofcourse, there's Kim's unique voice - languid, urgent, bruised and beautiful.In short, Mountain Battles captures all the bittersweet electricity of classicBreeders records like Pod and Last Splash, and still manages to break newground.
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 inDayton 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, including showcasesat Canadian Music Week and SXSW, plus an extensive USA tour kicking off onthe West Coast at the end of April.
