New album from the Breeders rocks!
Want to hear the Breeder’s “Mountain Battles” early and as a bonus see video of Dayton’s Deal sisters listening to it at the VFW in West Carrollton for a local record release party? Go here … or here … to see Kim and Kelly Deal listening to vinyl of “Mountain Battles,” eating a record cake and hear their rock-tastic new disc that releases in stores on April 8.
RollingStone.com has a nice story on it … here’s an excerpt:
Deal says the new album doesn’t deviate far from the Breeders’ classic sound, though there were more moments of experimentation. “We did a little bit more overdubs,” she says. “Title TK is the five of us playing basically. That’s how the practices sounded, that’s what we played. But I found I didn’t want to do that this time. I was okay with, oh, let’s have a guitar part that obviously nobody in the band can be playing right now.” Kelley sings a cover of “Regalame Esta Noche” in Spanish (”Okay, she doesn’t speak Spanish,” Deal admits, “But she knows the words because she’s singing them”), and “German Studies” features Kim’s vocals in, yes, German. “It was just this little riff I made up on the four-track,” she says of the latter. “It sounded really cool, really simple. But it would be so cool if instead of me going in my stupid English voice if I could be [sings mock German in gruff tones].” Kelley called the University of Dayton and got the name of a German expert nearby; the sisters were soon plopped down in the woman’s living room working out new lyrics.
Here’s a fun video of Kim and Kelley covering the Hank Williams song “I Can’t Help It.” Recorded at Cro-Magnon in Dayton, it’s just one more reason to love those Deal sisters!
