Breeders - We're gonna rise

The Breeders had a pretty hard start with the Pod not being officially released and then their major label shelving their album, but it was still more successful and captured more of the Pixies sound than any Frank Black album.
This track is no exception, 'We're all gonna rise' could easily be from a pixies b-side or a later track on any one of those albums, it's a slow dance picked guitar that end with a super dirty distorted solo. Still very 90's sounding, but that could just be her doubled chorus-y vocal style in a hollow room that takes me back.
It's weird I really liked Kim's other side project The Amps entire album and the Breeders Cannonball was a great track, but I never could admit to liking them, they just weren't something I seriously listened to for any given amount of time. That track in particular was way overplayed but they remained consistent and are still doing something interesting for sure.

On 4AD, or more likely at some record store near you.

I kind of liked the breeders, after you go thru the pixies catalog, you start to look for the side projects, before and after. if you were wondering where the talent lies in the pixies, look for a second at the black francis mess, and I think you will agree: Kim Deal.
There was also that other side project 'The Amps' , they had some dam good tracks, I mean suprisingly good. That was on my ipod for a while and when it would come up randomly, I would have to stop and see what was playing until her voice kicked in. Just think back to 1995 and then listen to 'breaking the split screen barrier' it's way ahead of it's time, and my friends that is the brain behind the pixies. Now of course you can argue, well they were as good as they were because of the fights and everyone keeping each other in check, and that probably has a lot to do with it, but you won't see me buying any frank black albums.

Today's selection will add two new covers to the giagantic indie rock covers mix tape you are making. I don't think I remember the jesus and mary chain song, but who doesn't love 'divine hammer'?
