The Breeders. Night of Joy
Pitchfork says, “Mountain Battles, the first LP from those Deal sisters and their Breeders since 2002’s Title TK, will be released on 4AD April 7 in the UK and the following day in the U.S. Kim recently spoke with Rolling Stone about the album, on which she claims to have done “a little more with overdubs” than on the band’s sparser back catalog (we’re gonna assume Albini wasn’t involved with that sordid business). Generally balking at that sort of unnatural adornment, Deal says she threw caution to the wind with Mountain Battles, occasionally deciding, “let’s have a guitar part that obviously nobody in the band can be playing right now.” As if a new Breeders album wasn’t enough, full U.S., UK, and European tours are in the works for next year, including South by Southwest festival, Toronto’s Canadian Music Week and, yes, an appearance at Coachella.”
