THE BREEDERS Pod (2009 issue UK 12-track LP pressed on 180gram Vinyl - Though ostensibly a side project of The Pixies' Kim Deal and Throwing Muses' Tanya Donelly, The Breeders' 1990 debut, 'Pod', has held up as a classic of late 80s / early 90s off-kilter alternative pop, surpassing the contemporaneous work of their main bands. Though Deal would really hit the big time 3 years later with the Breeders' follow-up, 'Last Splash', and Donelly would do the same with her next band, Belly, 'Pod' [engineered by the legendary Steve Albini] is the band's finest, most coherent, album and perhaps the high point in both their careers)
