The Breeders - All Nerve (2018)

how do we feel about metagoth? it was legit the only pause i had with my first runthroughs

haha! i like it a lot!

JW also sings the lead on Metal Man on Pod.

ok duh i'm not that daft :)

used to be obsessed with the percussion drop in metal man

Metagoth sounds great live, kim plays bass

(but there is a solid precedent for Daytonian w/ faux Brit accent)

Josephine also sings lead on Cannonball b-sides “900” and “Lord of the Thighs,” a killer Aerosmith cover.

I think she wrote 900 and Head to Toe. Always meant to check out her solo stuff. Anybody got thoughts on it?

When I saw them a few months back, JWiggs did a perfect note for note Joey Santiago impression of that breakdown* guitar lick on Gigantic which was pretty amazing!

I happened to buy it on CD and it sounds fabulous.

Xp hah she totally fucked it up when I saw them and they laughed about it after

Ha! It's a little tricky...

Saw them tonight in Houston and two nights ago in Austin. I've seen them a few times before, and this is the best so far! Kim seemed so happy and genuinely surprised at how warm of a reception they received. A good mix of old and new, leaning heavily on All Nerve and Last Splash. One each from Title TK and Mountain Battles, a handful from Pod.

Highly recommended.

This is great.

Agreed.

All of the Breeders’ previous albums – Pod, Last Splash, Title TK, and Mountain Battles – will be re-issued on vinyl on 18th May. Available to pre-order from today, this is the first time Pod and Last Splash will be released by 4AD in North America.

The looks on Kelley's face playing "Off You" from sheet music are hilarious.

Tiny Desk made my day thanks

For people that care about such things: They are selling copies of Title TK at their shows that have the original vinyl cover (different from CD art). It looks like the reissue will change the vinyl artwork to be the same as the CD art.

Have we talked about how great their cover of Gates of Steel is? Because it is.

YSI?

Got it on vinyl. Looked around for a digital copy but couldn't find one.

Not even on youtube, it looks like. The Mike Nesmith cover, "Joanne" is there though and it's very nice.

Gates of Steel and Joanne are on the Japanese CD release. Gimme your email for a YSI.

Jealous en

What ya wanna hear??

Ohhh enjoy E.!

Report back

Will do :)

good show in chicago last night. highlight for me was during the opening set by awesome local band melkbelly, who are apparently opening for most/all of the tour, i'm 90% sure one of the deal sisters sang back-up on a song from backstage.

set list was fairly predictable but i was pleasantly surprised they did "safari"

I really liked Melkbelly!

"Spacewoman" is the best song ever.

(So are like 10 other Breeders songs fwiw)

On first listen, I didn't think much to it. A couple of further listens I love every song on it.

I won’t stop!!!!

Dawn: Making an Effort is the highlight imo

^ YES. One of their best songs ever.

I love that one, but it's seriously difficult for me to pick just one highlight.

I feel like no one ever talks about how strange and abstract Deal's lyrics are. they're not Pavement-level wordplay but they have a very cut-up stream-of-consciousness kind of thing going on, so 90s indie

Absolutely

Dawn: Making an Effort is the highlight imo

Id go so far to say that the Howl > AT > Dawn sequence makes the album

(Ok I already posted that)
