The Breeders have announced a 30th anniversary remaster of Last Splash, the band’s acclaimed 1993 sophomore LP/ Releasing on September 22nd, the new edition comes complete with two previously unreleased tracks and remastered versions of the songs from the original analog tapes.
Last Splash was a pivotal album of the 90’s, mixing the quirky absurdities of the Pixies with the wobbly guitars of Throwing Muses. Songs such as “Cannonball” and “Divine Hammer” helped earn the album both a platinum status in the U.S and U.K and was ranked 35th in Pitchfork’s Top 100 Records of the 1990s. In promotion of the reissue, the band has released one of the newly unearthed tracks from the Last Splash sessions. Titled “Go Man Go,” the track delivers on The Breeders iconic sound with a slow, heavy groove and grinding guitars all underneath Kim’s unmistakable vocal authority.
The Breeders will hit the road in August with Foo Fighters, Belly, Screaming Females, and Horsegirl at select tour dates. The U.S tour features stops at Chicago’s Riot Fest, Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and at The Fillmore in Philadelphia on September 20th. Details on that show can be found at WXPN’s Concerts and Events page.
