Pretty cool pre-Breeders Kim Deal demo sessions with Throwing Muses. Definitely worth checking out just for the early version of “Silver” alone.
Kim Deal is in the news today because of the announcement that she’s left the Pixies. Whatever! A 10-year victory lap reunion tour is plenty, right? Anyone who desperately wanted to see them has seen them by now. And anyway, Kim is always great, with the Pixies or without them. She’s currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of Last Splash, but let’s celebrate the Breeders’ first album by listening to these demos, via Shallow Rewards. The “Demos” tag is a little misleading — if anything these recordings are a bit more polished than the Albini produced LP we all know and love. The backing band, I gather, was Throwing Muses minus Kristin Hersh, so the whole thing sounds a bit more of a piece with what the Muses were up to in the late 80s/early 90s. Also of interest are the quite different early versions “Silver” (which would show up in Pixies form on Doolittle) and the Last Splash anthem “Divine Hammer.” A revealing look at a timeless album!
