I wish folk would stop droning on about The Last Splash. The Breeders have made 4 albums &, on reflection, it's The Last Splash that's the aberration. Commercial, compromised, a handful of great tracks surrounded by a bunch of mediocre ones. Their 2 LPs since, Mountain Battles & Title TK, hark back to the muddier basement atmospheres of Pod, their 1990 debut, & both find Kim & Kelley single-mindedly forging their own opaque path. Of the 2, Title TK is the most accessible (by a whisker), but Mountain Battles definitely shouldn't be ignored - it's a smouldering, shadowy collection of songs that evades obvious tangibility. The entire LP seems audibly smeared somehow, & is curiously, tantilisingly indecipherable, even down to the noncommittal title. So many (unanswered) questions. Personally, I love it (& them).
