{"product_id":"the-breeders-pod","title":"The Breeders - Pod","description":"\u003cp\u003ePod is the record Kurt Cobain called one of his three favorite albums, and it is easy to hear why. Released on 4AD in 1990, the Breeders' debut paired Pixies bassist Kim Deal with Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly, bassist Josephine Wiggs, and Slint drummer Britt Walford. Steve Albini engineered it in two weeks at a studio in Edinburgh, chasing the sound of the room rather than any kind of polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is spare, strange, and quietly menacing. Deal's songs float on hushed verses that lurch into sudden bursts of noise, her voice doubling and drifting over Walford's dry, cavernous drums. A hollowed-out reading of \"Happiness Is a Warm Gun\" sits alongside originals like \"Doe,\" \"Iris,\" and \"Hellbound\" that feel both offhand and haunted. Pitchfork later ranked it among the best albums of the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaughan Oliver's unsettling cover art, a man wearing a belt of eels, completes the package. This 4AD pressing restores a foundational alternative rock record to the shelf, as odd and magnetic as it was on release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador Direct","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47472042770594,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/652637000603-CoverArtImage1.jpg?v=1784939949","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/the-breeders-pod","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
