The cool amber glow cast over much of '93 by the Breeders' terrific last album, the megahit Last Splash, makes a lousy reference point for the willfully lo-fi and rambling Title TK, which finds the Deal twins--former Pixie Kim and her sister Kelley--paired with members of the East L.A. punks, Fear. Recorded by Steve Albini using analog technology, Title TK at first sounds like some long-lost basement recording improbably featuring a pair of sound-alike frontwomen. But the quaint attributes of this faux-relic quickly vanish as it becomes apparent there aren't a lot of ideas at work beneath the chilly atmospheric cooing and narcoleptic guitar strumming. The oddly named "Sinister Foxx"--odd because the women repeat "Has anyone seen the iguana," which is neither sinister nor foxy--is in some respects the set's highlight, despite being about as appetizing as spaghetti sauce under a naked bulb. Here, the women's chantlike delivery is thoroughly eerie. Given the dearth of emotion elsewhere on Title TK, any sign of a pulse is a very good thing. In the similarly snoozy "The She," a wheezing Farfisa organ gooses the song's loitering pace. Only "Son of Three" recalls the gloriously rickety thud of old. Considering that the Breeders' so-called poppiest songs--"Hellbound" from Pod, and "Cannonball" and "Divine Hammer" from Last Splash--aren't exactly buckets of sunshine, this feels sepia-toned for the sheer sake of it. --Kim Hughes

Best Breeders album. offers something other albums don't........2006-09-08

If you have heard the Breeders before and not like them, maybe not thinking that they only give females a satisfaction you are wrong. the instruments in this album speak to eachother, especially the guitars in The She. the guiatrs talking to eachother are Space creature puppets talking, exploring the earth, philosophy of the earth blending. travelers of the earth. the sisters harmonies blend perfectly like no others. it works. little fury best representation of this. Off you amazing. wacthing sunset punch drunk in an unpretentious way, feeling the salt some out of your mouth, just washed up from the storm. this time the talking guitar is now more the background thoughts coming together of the memories that the lyrics unfield to whatever may pertain to you abstractly or directly. this song is completion and meant so much to me in certain times if was my onyl friend (I know that sounds cheasy) any suggestions. let me hear your music.

Better I stayed up...........2006-09-06

After a 9 year hiatus Kim Deal returned to alternative rock with this underappreciated and undersold gem. After cashing those "Cannonball" royalty checks the Deal twins return with a mellow but still rocking 3rd album. Yeah, 3rd album in their twelve year existence. Talk about a long wait inbetween albums. But it's easy to see that Kim and Kelley carefully plan their albums.

Kim's voice has grown alot (not in a good/bad way) since we last heard her on a formal record, 93' Last Splash. The cigarette wear and tear and alcohol abuse has done damage to her voice, but it makes it quite endearing. Deal has always had the most interesting female vocals in alternative rock and is arguably the most talented of her former band, the Pixies.

In all, it was good to see the Breeders back for such a short period of time and who knows when Deal will crawl back out to deliver another batch of rockin' songs.

The Breeders produce great music!.......2005-01-20

I love this cd as much as Last Splash, but I don't listen to this one as much because it's a lot more mellow. I bought this album having figured that all the band's music was high-energy rock'n'roll. Even though I can't always undrstand the lyrics, at least the Breeders music is complex and interesting.

More Dark Imagination and Flare.......2005-01-02

The Breeders were founded in 1989 by Tanya Donelly (from Throwing Muses) and Kim Deal (from the Pixies) as a side project, since both of these fine singers and writers were getting insufficient exposure in the bands they were in. Casual listeners who remember Kim's ecstatic vocals on the hit single Gigantic, may not realise, without having heard the albums, that this was almost the only lead vocal she ever had with the Pixies. The Breeders quickly took off, though Tanya soon left to form Belly, and was replaced by Kim's sister Kelley. They had made two successful albums by 1993, but then all went quiet, apart from side projects.
Finally, in 2001, after a year in the studios with Steve Albini, and helped by a pair of musicians borrowed from the band Fear, Kim and Kelley were back with this collection, showing they had lost none of their dark imagination and flare on this pared down and beautifully economical set - and so cool they got to play in an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer

shakes the house.......2004-05-15

These people are serious about rock and roll. This is a very tough record. The mix has the bass up so high that it does shake the house the way that few other records I have heard do. The lyrics are obtuse in a good way, and definitely create an atmosphere of danger and debauchery. The dark side of certain areas of LA, as far as I can tell. But with a sense of humor, like in the ridiculous intro to "London Song." And as always with the Breeders there is really strong melody. The only drawbacks are that it is too short and maybe the song "Put on a Side" (although it is growing on me).
