The Breeders Return with 4-Song EP

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 6:00 PM (EDT)

The Breeders, the band formed by Kim Deal of Pixies has announced plans for a new self-released EP. The record is titled Fate to Fatal and is due out April 21, 2009. It is the follow up to their 2008 studio album, Mountain Battles, and was recorded at both at a professional studio in England and in the basement of Breeders' singer/guitarist Kim Deal.

The plan is to self-release the disc, which Deal explained:

I started asking questions, talking to Dan Koretzky from Drag City Records, Albini, Bob Weston, and Ivo Watts-Russell who owned 4AD Records. And it seems that now, more than at any other time in the past, we could put the music out ourselves - hand-screen some cool artwork ourselves, sell the EPs at our shows and on our website, as well as get them to traditional record stores and other online outlets. So, we're just going to press up a thousand twelve-inch vinyls.

Deal's other band, the Pixies, are set to perform at the Isle of Wright Festival.

Bob Barker isnt stoked.

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

oh man, that was bad

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

bad in a Tyler Perry sense, Hitler sense or michael Jackson sense?

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

TP

Hitler can't be used so pointlessly

Michael Jackson made 2 nearly perfect records, just wish he would have died when his hair caught on fire

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

was Bad a good album? the song is pretty sweet. i dont know much about Michael Jackson, except the shitty, easy jokes that late night hosts make. I grew up in the time of Hanson.

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

Off The Wall
Thriller

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

but the video is sweet. the only full album ive heard from him is thriller and i think i liked it a little bit.

miniblindbandit (March 17, 2009)

keep on and you don't stop. don't stop till you get enough.

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

I'll defend Thriller and before forever. That stuff is incredible, puts the motherfuckers cranking pop music out today to shame.

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

Lady Gaga>Michael Jackson in his prime, any day of the week. fo sho

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

After that comment, I'm done with you and this place for the evening.

That is punishable by death.

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

haha, i didnt even know who lady gaga was before i heard someone say her name in my psychology lecture today. judging from that name, i just figured she was bad.

baldy_shale (March 17, 2009)

I fucking agree.

Now I'm gonna be good and angry and drunk.

ffwoodycooks (March 17, 2009)

bald people always agree. too much air flow to the brain, i say.

I remember when prime time tv would come secondary to the airing of a new MJ music video. Thanks to the Black and White and Remember The Time videos, I lost like 10 minutes of Home Improvement

baldsteve (March 17, 2009)

they did it for Madonna too

Einrobstein (March 17, 2009)

I hope this EP isn't an unmitigated disaster like Mountain Battles was.

Lesterfangs (March 18, 2009)

yeah, dude!
