2008, 4AD
VINYL FORMAT. Their first album since 2002's "Title TK". By turns goofy, groovy, melancholy, strung-out, catchy, atmospheric, and at times, impossibly lovely, "Mountain Battles" underlines that Kim Deal is a songwriter and musician of rare intuition. Her songs move from offhand charm to emotional truth with casual grace, balancing scuffed-up noise against fraught silence; timeless structures against strange new shapes. And throughout is Kim's unique voice - languid, urgent, bruised, and beautiful. "Mountain Battles" captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like "Pod" and "Last Splash", and still manages to break new ground.

Adrian BordeleauThe Breeders follow up their fantastically weird Title TK with songs that sound a little more reined in and a recording aesthetic that only involves analog processes. Mountain Battles is a little less engaging than Title TK, but retains the exuberance for sound and music that the Deals are so good at conveying on tape. An exquisite 28 page book featuring visual interpretations of each song accompanies the package. Recommended on vinyl.
