Last month, on 30 August, the utterly charismatic rock Amazons THE BREEDERS celebrated the 30th anniversary of their best known and most successful album
LAST SPLASH.
Today a deluxe anniversary edition is out.
Details and order info here.
Stream digital version below.
The special issue features these two previously
unreleased tracks from the Last Splash sessions.
Go Man Go and Divine Mascis. Kim Deal told Uncut Magazine about the collaborative song with Dinosaur Jr‘s mastermind J Mascis: “At the time, J Mascis was a guitar god… We sent him the tape to put guitar on, so when it came back and he’s got rid of our voices and just put his vocal on, we were like, “Wha?!” But it’s really cute. There’s a freshness to it, and it’s just so weird. I like his voice and the idiosyncratic way he sings and delivers lines. So I thought it was really neat.”

On August 30 THE BREEDERS featuring the Deal twins Kim and Kelly
will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their best and most famous LP
THE LAST SPLASH.
A special anniversary reissue will land in September. It has been remastered
based off of the original analog tapes, which were previously thought to be
lost. This process actually unearthed two unreleased tracks from the Last
Splash sessions.

One of them is a piece called GO MAN GO. A mid-tempo
distorted rocker, that was written by Kim Deal and Pixies’
chief Black Francis.
Here goes your man.
