Saw them open for Arcade Fire a couple of weeks ago, they were in good silly spirits (if a bit subdued). Ended with "Gigantic."

They sold out their London show a few weeks ago in about 5 minutes, but I got lucky and one of my friends managed to obtain 2 free tickets and asked me if I wanted to go with him, which of course I did. Was absolutely great.

Uh, yes please:
Today, the Breeders announce details of their long-awaited fifth album. Entitled All Nerve, and featuring recent single ‘Wait in the Car’, the group’s first record in a decade will be released on March 2, 2018. All Nerve’s title track is now available to hear below. ‘ALL NERVE’ - http://bit.ly/2CViqyq All Nerve reunites band members Kim and Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson – the line-up behind the iconic and platinum-selling record, Last Splash. The quartet returned to the stage in 2013 to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary and have been quietly working on new material since then. Recording took place at Candyland, Dayton, Kentucky, with Mike Montgomery; Electrical Audio, Chicago, with Steve Albini and Greg Norman; and with Tom Rastikis at Fernwood Studios, Dayton, Ohio. Artwork was conceived by Chris Bigg, who has worked with the Breeders since their first album, Pod. All Nerve will be released on March 2nd on CD, standard edition black vinyl LP, limited alternate sleeve/orange vinyl (independent stores only) and digitally. 4AD Store customers also have the opportunity to bundle their LP album pre-order with the third iteration in the ‘Wait in the Car’ 7” single series, while stocks last. This limited red vinyl single features a cover of Mike Nesmith’s ‘Joanne’. For more information head to 4ad.com/store To coincide with All Nerve and following a successful club tour late last year, the Breeders will tour North America and Europe throughout the Spring and Summer. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Visit thebreedersmusic.com for further details.

As posted above, "Walking With The Killer" was the absolute highlight of the show I saw a couple months ago. I love Kim's solo (demo?) version.... very intrigued by the album release.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 21:49 (six years ago) link
as I noted on the other thread, the real draw for me here is what I assume is a cover of
Amon Duul II - "Archangels Thunderbird"
― sleeve, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 21:52 (six years ago) link
Those Kim Deal 7" singles from 2014 are great and make a nice album of sorts (incl. "Walking With a Killer"). I bought 3-4 of the vinyl releases but you can get the whole lot from iTunes I think, and Amazon if you don't want DRM. No lossless anywhere I could find though."Biker Gone" with Kim, Kelley and Britt Walford is effectively a Breeders song (and superb) -https://vimeo.com/110603858

Wow - decent mini reviews but my ranking would go Pod = TK > Nerve > Splash > Battles. Pacer would be equal to Nerve if we're including it.

songs are great but the albini aesthetic rarely does it for me, i'd have gone for last splash. but i'll take it

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 29 May 2020 13:47 (three years ago) link
the thing about pod vs. last splash is that they're both perfect
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 May 2020 14:16 (three years ago) link
albini's method of recording very tight bands in a straight up way that emphasized dynamics which would somehow make them sound more mysterious and strange = still classic i think, despite the uneven mastering (or at least i think that must be why "happiness" is 30x louder than the rest of the record)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 29 May 2020 14:25 (three years ago) link
yeah I think there is something a little off about the mastering of Pod, at least on the CD version, would be interesting to hear that album on vinyl and see if it's any different. I think the Albini recording works otherwise
just had a quick look on slsk and found some FLACs purporting to be ripped from the original LP so will see
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 29 May 2020 14:37 (three years ago) link
I can listen to "Lime House" on repeat for an hour. Easily Deal's best song ever. POD is indeed a far better album than LAST SPLASH, and I love how she returned to Albini after the bloat of Gil Norton
― beamish13, Friday, 29 May 2020 18:21 (three years ago) link
Albini's Rid of Me (and some other) production being discussed on PJ Harveythread. Back then I listened to alt-rock on casettes, via whatever headphones, didn't worry about production.

If I'm going to do this I'm going to listen to the demo version anyways thx for watching my TEDTalk
― weekly shopper helper (Drugs A. Money), Friday, 29 May 2020 21:43 (three years ago) link
I listened to the vinyl rip of Pod earlier, Happiness Is A Warm Gun was still a little louder than the tracks around it but it sounded great although I don't think it was significantly different to the CD, not that I A/B'd it or anything. It did seem to be actually a vinyl rip, there were a couple of tiny pops during Metal Man which has a lot of quiet parts.
It is a great album and it took me back to my teens when I bought it and I could picture my bedroom at my mum's house
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 30 May 2020 00:09 (three years ago) link
Used to play my Pod tape in mom's minivan, hope she enjoyed it. The Breeders were so formative for me I didn't even know the (post-Beatlemania) Beatles yet.
― geoffreyess, Saturday, 30 May 2020 03:48 (three years ago) link
Pod is so good. One of the top 10 albums of the 1990s.
― tylerw, Saturday, 30 May 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
Can’t recommend the Pod demos enough.

She did WTF with Marc Maron in 2017, and what I thought was quite a lot of press around All Nerve in 2018. Pretty quiet since then...
― verhexen, Sunday, 15 January 2023 23:37 (one year ago) link
The full band did an NPR interview for All Nerve, but I can't remember which show it was for.

also in the US, currently, with Last Splash 30th anniversary headline dates in between. Belly opening for Breeders on some Californian and Washington dates.

Yep, we have tickets for one of those dates. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since we saw them on the last anniversary tour!

I'm going to see them in SF, albeit at a very different venue then their last time here (Rickshaw Stop & The Independent)
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 23 August 2023 16:25 (eight months ago) link
My favorite band. They played recently in Atlanta but it's just too far from Savannah (5 hours) and I saw the prior Last Splash reunion. I think we saw them on one of the last nights and they came back and played Pod in full as well, plus a couple of b-sides. It was terrific.
They are definitely a band that has gotten better live.
