"here no more" - the breeders
"Here No More" - The Breeders (download) (buy)
from Mountain Battles (2008)
(file expires April 25th)
I'm going to say it anyway, because it's right under our noses and it might get missed: Kim and Kelley Deal's harmonies are what make the Breeders so lovely, even in 2008. There are (possibly apocryphal?) stories about the twins singing country duets for truckers in their native Dayton that I remember reading in Circus circa Last Splash. Until bootlegs surface, "Here No More," from the new Mountain Battles, will suffice. The melody is decent, really just serving as a vehicle for their sweetly decaying singsongs to make something nice between them, pleasing genetic harmonics in full effect. Hardly radical, but it doesn't need to be.
