(g/h )  cda box 54 Although a lot has obviously changed in the world of music in over the last 10- years, Title TK sounds as if the Breeders got stuck in a time machine after their generation-defining mega-hit album Last Splash, and booked themselves into the same sessions that bore Pod way back in 1990. Yes, the Breeders have regressed a bit, but as fans of Pod will agree, that?s not necessarily a bad thing. Title TK is a wilfully sloppy taste of the 1990s indie revival that is, inevitably, just around the corner. Recorded by Steve Albini using analogue technology, it features the Breeders? trademarks: fuzzy guitars and the virtually indistinguishable lazy harmonies of sister-duo Kim and Kelly Deal, as well as an enviable command of pop, especially on "Huffer", "Son of Three" and "Full On Idle" (all of which clock in under three minutes each). Meanwhile, sparer songs like "Sinister Foxx" and "The She" ("You move so slow/you?re not even here") practically define the word "slacker" (but, you know, in the Generation-X sense). It?s an entertaining piece of retro-pop culture, a relic of a time when young men in charity-shop cardigans strode the earth like titans. Maybe it?s an anachronism, but it?s an entertaining one. --Robert Burrow Review Nine years have passed since dishevelled, lazy grunge was 'now' and The Breeders released their second album, Last Splash to a platinum reception with their debut, Pod firmly under their belts. In the interim the Deal sisters have been dealing with their respective addictions. Kim's compulsive studio habit and Kelley's compulsive drug habit have kept them away from the record-buying public until the endless song-tweaking and a change of line up resulted in their third, painfully but not intentionally, intimate album: Title TK. Kimfelt journalist shorthand for title-to-come would suit the album's sentiment, and the first track Little Fury asserts Kim and Kelley's familiar vocal harmony as they promise they'll get there one day: "Title TK, if I don't black out". Recruiting new members does not a band make however. The Breeders are Kim and Kelley Deal. Richard, Mando and Jose from the LA punk outfit 'Fear'sound like they played the parts they were given, although the album is no less effective for it. Kim Deal and Steve Albini produced the album as minimalist, analogue, lo-fi, anti-rock. Each song as a result is rendered a rawness, simplicity and individuality, devoid of the generic charmlessness that the digital studio can deliver. Kim and Kelley's vocal is as lazy and uncomplicated as we ever were a grungy, adolescent nine years ago. It only serves to make Kim's feminine, soft, melodic voice compelling and endearing in comparison. The whole record is simplicity itself. The distinctive harmonies created by the Deal sisters are the albums haunting hallmark, effective over a sparse demo-like texture and pared-down lazy beats totally unaffected by convention. The wonderfully half-hearted rousing call "round up holler girls" of the opener, "Little Fury" and the single that closes Title TK, "The Huffer", are the beatier frame on which a more pensive body is hung. There is also quirky hilarity of "Full on Idle", Kim rendering the lyrics unintelligible. The heartbreaking tonal twists and intimate muted musing "I am the make up on your eye" on the single "Off You". A lazily rocking bass riff and snare meanwhile underpins the morse interplay of two guitars and a characteristic Deal/Deal vocal harmony on the "The She", which is darker in comparison. Listen to this record on your own, because the beauty in its simplicity is that it's highly personal and contemplative. You fill in your own gaps, you make your own story and like The Breeders, you remain unconcerned by popularity.... --Jules Willis This link will take you off  in a new window
