New Album and Song Preview
We (WERE) streaming a new song from MOUNTAIN BATTLES on our page for a day (and that day is now up - sorry if you missed it). The song is called "We're Gonna Rise".
4AD sent out this press release earlier today about the new album:
******
THE BREEDERS NEW ALBUM -- MOUNTAIN BATTLES -- SET FOR RELEASE ON 4AD APRIL 8, 2008 IN US AND APRIL 7, 2008 IN REST OF WORLD!
4AD is pleased to announce the forthcoming world-wide release of Mountain Battles, the new album from The Breeders on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 (April 7 outside of North America).
The Breeders released their last album - Title TK - back in 2002. Since then, of course, Kim Deal has been part of one of the most highly successful and warmly received music reunions of all time, getting back together with the rest of The Pixies for a series of exhilarating live shows in 2004 and 2005. After that, Kim headed back to Dayton, Ohio to start writing a new record.
Mountain Battles is the result. It's an album which captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like Pod and Last Splash, and which breaks new ground at the same time; classic sounding, yet as relevant and exciting as ever.
Mountain Battles was recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Erika Larson at Stagg Street, Manny Nieto at Manny's Studio, at Refraze in Dayton and by Ben Mumphrey in the Basement.
The Breeders are : Kelley Deal, Kim Deal, Jose Medeles and Mando Lopez; Jose and Mando are both veterans of the Title TK campaign.
The Breeders will be playing live all over the world in 2008. Their schedule includes performances at Canadian Music Week and SxSW and Coachella, plus full tours in the USA and in Europe.
The Breeders are also set to play a full UK tour in April to mark the release of the album.
The Mountain Battles tracklisting is :
1. Overglazed
2. Bang On
3. Night Of Joy
4. We're Gonna Rise
5. German Studies
6. Spark
7. Istanbul
8. Walk It Off
9. Regalame Esta Noche
10. Here No More
11. No Way
12. It's The Love
13. Mountain Battles

| | | Did anyone read that article on the RS site where Kim talks about hearing the new album for the first time and it sounded like shit.
And the sound guy told her it's meant to sound good on Ipods but not decent stereos?
I know fuck all about the technical side of things, but it was something like that. There were audio clicks all over or something?????????????? |

"This is what I think is happening: Everybody has iPods, so you can't get them that loud. So they have a algorithm called a "finalizer" — it's not that new, but the way people are using it is new — and it makes your music sound louder. People will ruin their records and CDs. I was really stunned by the CD the guy gave me when I listened to it at home — it sounded crazy! It was like, abort mission! Supposedly it sounds fine on your iPod, but if you take the CD and put it on your hi-fi CD player you can hear the digital clipping. It's a big news story over in England."
— Kim Deal, on mastering the new Breeders album, Mountain Battles

and the entire article: The Death of High Fidelity : Rolling Stone | If it's going to sound that bad maybe she should've aborted mission. Why would you buy a cd that sounds fucking shocking on your home stereo? I don't own an Ipod. Nor do I want one. So I'm not buying one so that I can listen to my one of my favourite bands properly. |

| | i'm seeing them in may too. i could see them in march for free, but i don't think there's any way the bf can get time off so we can go. 
anyway the record is great. "regálame esta noche" is easily my favorite, schmaltziness and all. | |
