The Breeders are back with a new album under their belt. Mountain Battles was released on April 8th to critical success with Blender stating, "The result is slight but often gorgeous, as Deal’s wafting voice strikes upon melodies pretty and eerie." Kim Deal, founding member of the Breeders, hit commercial success in the 90's with her hit single "Cannonball." "Overglazed" off of Mountain Battles has been described by Rolling Stone as "the best indie-rock orgasm ever." So perhaps the Deal sisters have a new hit on their hands. Nonetheless, Mountain Battles is pretty great and an album "late Breeders fan Kurt Cobain would have loved."Kim and Kelley put on a great live show, especially 6 years after their last album and now with a gorgeous new album to promote. The UK Guardian had this to say about twin sisters - Kim and Kelley's live show, "the Breeders are a beguiling force. New songs are seamlessly layered with old favourites, the quicksand rhythm of Overglazed nestling next to the fireworks of No Aloha and of Divine Hammer." After hearing the fantastic Mountain Battles, let's hope it's not another six years before a new Breeders album. But you never know, so be at the TLA on Sunday, June 8th for the Breeders because you may not get the opportunity to see them again.
