The Breeders - Last Splash


Was it only me that was disappointed that this years X Factor single wasn't the breeders song "Cannonball" ?? it turned out to be some rhubarb by Damien Rice... Oh well... 

Kim Deal is officially cool... no ifs or buts im afraid.. A one time member of The Pixies and here with her own beast The Breeders. Out of the band went Tanya Donelly (ex Throwing Muses now Belly) and in came sister Kelley for this, the bands second album, after debut POD

This was a wonderful album , full of changes of direction and surprises, it perplexed as many people as excited them i suppose though . It had perfect pop moments in Canninball and Divine Hammer and veered off into surf rock in Roi and Flipside.....  The Prodigy even sampled SOS for Firestarter !!

The Band never really followed this up in any meaningful way which was a real shame
