Description:Mountain Battles by Breeders, released 3 April 2008, includes the following tracks: "Night Of Joy", "German Studies", "Istanbul", "Regalame Esta Noche" and more. This version of Mountain Battles comes as a 1xCD. -
Their first album since 2002's "Title TK". By turns goofy, groovy, melancholy, strung-out, catchy, atmospheric and at times, impossibly lovely, MOUNTAIN BATTLES underlines that Kim Deal is a songwriter and musician of rare intuition. Her songs move from offhand charm to emotional truth with casual grace, balancing scuffed-up noise against fraught silence; timeless structures against strange new shapes. And throughout is Kim's unique voice - languid, urgent, bruised, and beautiful. MOUNTAIN BATTLES captures all the bittersweet electricity of classic Breeders records like POD and LAST SPLASH and still manages to break new ground.
Packaged in a 6-panel Digipak-style sleeve. Includes a small, narrow booklet. Mountain Battles was recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, Erika Larsen at Stagg Street, Manny Nieto at Manny's Studio and at Refraze in Dayton, and by Ben Mumphrey in the basement.

"Mountain Battles" is a captivating album by The Breeders, released in CD format by the renowned label 4AD/Beggars. This record showcases the band's signature blend of alternative rock and indie sensibilities, featuring raw guitar riffs, haunting melodies, and Kim Deal's unmistakable vocals. With tracks that range from energetic to introspective, "Mountain Battles" demonstrates The Breeders' ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Formed in 1989 by Kim Deal (of Pixies fame) and her twin sister Kelley Deal, The Breeders achieved international acclaim with their platinum-selling album "Last Splash," which included the hit single "Cannonball." Over the years, they've become icons of '90s alternative music. 4AD/Beggars is a legendary independent label known for nurturing groundbreaking artists across genres; its roster has included acts like Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance.
