Title Tk

In the Summer of 1999, Kim and Kelley Deal recorded a session at a studio in Austin, Texas, and another session at Electrical Audio in Chicago, beginning the first batch of songs to be completed for 'Title TK'. At this time, Kim decided that the album would use no computers, digital recording, 'auto-tuning' or any other mainstays of contemporary production. This marked the inception of the 'All Wave' philosophy, which, loosely stated, is that everything would be an analogue sound recording of someone playing or singing, rather than a computer generating a simulation, or being digitally manipulated. This philosophy carried through the entire production and mastering process, including mixing, editing, sequencing and post-production. 'Title TK' was completed with most of the members of the indestructible veteran Los Angeles punk band Fear - guitarist Richard Presley (distant relative of Elvis Presley and nephew of Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star), bassist Mando Lopez and drummer Jose Medeles to complete the line-up. These four, augmented by Kelley Deal, now constitute the Breeders.
'Title TK' features the band's recent single 'Off You' (a reworking of The Amps live favourite 'Full On Idle') and ten other magnificent new Breeders' songs. The legendary Steve Albini was the principal engineer for the Electrical Audio sessions.
"The Breeders make a unique music that invites the listener to recognize that every moment of life is capable of containing at the same time the beauty of sunrise, the tragedy of deceit, the comedy of a pratfall and the mania of a drag race" - Steve Albini
