The Breeders – Mountain Battles LP (180g) Supply

Their first 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 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 is Kim s unique voice – languid, urgent, bruised, and beautiful. Mountain Battles captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like Pod and Last Splash , and still manages to break new ground. Deluxe 28-page booklet with both formats. Look for appearances at SXSW, Coachella, and Bonnaroo, and a national tour upon release, followed by a fall tour.
