The Breeders - Bang On
The Breeders have been around for rather a long time for a part-time band. Kim and Kelley Deal first adopted the name in the early '80s, reviving it as a side-project away from Kim's work with her main band Pixies at the tail end of that decade.
Members came and went, but by 1993 they were being heard around the world with the ubiquitous stop-start, key-changing single Cannonball. Line-up changes, long gaps, drug problems and other bands later, the band got together for a fourth album Mountain Battles which was released earlier this year.
Bang On is an exercise in delightful minimalism. With the beat from Toni Basil's, albeit in diaphragm-punishing low frequencies, the track is all jittery guitars - at times they sound like a 50s sci-fi movie giant insect sound effect - and fractured, anguished vocals. "I love no one and no one loves me," the Deals cry. All this and it is only two minutes long. Perfect.
