Oh, how I’ve missed Kim Deal. The Breeders will be releasing a new record in April, entitled “Mountain Battles.” You can listen to one of the new songs on their MySpace page.

“Title TK,” their last LP, was a work of genius. Totally ignored by music fans, but easily containing some of Kim’s best songs. What I’ve heard from the new record sounds equally as good — definitely more in the “Pod” vein than “Last Splash.”

Now if only that Pixies reunion record will ever come together …
