The Breeders by Kevin Westenberg
The Breeders will be supporting Olivia Rodrigo in New York and LA next year.
The Breeders have shared Divine Mascis from the 30th anniversary ‘original analog edition’ of Last Splash which is due out tomorrow (September 22nd).
It’s a previously unreleased version of Divine Hammer from Last Splash’s recording sessions which features Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis on vocals – Kelley Deal took up the story with Uncut:
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.
