DOWNLOAD The Breeders, Bang On MP3

The Bang On mp3 is a quirky, funky track that has a production that is so spare, it's almost daring. (Critics have said that the closets reference point is probably the decidedly contemporary Tracy & the Plastics.) Kim Deal has evolved over the years and probably wouldn’t have attempted a tune like this ten years ago, but she’s better than almost any artist in applying new trends to her music.

It's hard not to appreciate a band willing to take the tiniest little hook or the most insignificant little production technique and say, "That's it - that's what I want, and that's all I want." Kim Deal’s willingness to trust her judgment and not a bunch of bells and whistles still sets her apart. And The Breeders latest album reflects that.
