Cool as Kim Deal

After a hiatus of 5+ years, the Breeders will soon be releasing their long-awaited fourth studio album, Mountain Battles. Along with the new tunes, the band will be doing a U.S. tour and stopping at Chicago’s own Cabaret Metro in May. Check out “Bang On.“

All of what I’ve heard thus far has been pretty interesting. None of it has quite the majestic coolness of “Cannonball,” but I’ve still enjoyed it, and it will definitely help tide me over until my next chance to see the Pixies play. (Notice how I didn’t jinx a future Pixies album there? Oh God, does that jinx it?)

Not only does Kim Deal have probably the best female voice in alternative rock, she can sport a sweater with a collar like nobody’s business.
