Iris by the Breeders (1990)


I've always enjoyed Kim Deal's side project, the Breeders, more than the seminal band she started with, the Pixies. There is just something about the music that is heavier to me and hits the right chord.

I can remember playing their 1993 LP, Last Splash, over and over again. In fact, I thought that was their debut album for years(remember that this was before the internet). Only later did I discover that first album, Pod, that was recorded with Throwing Muses' guitarist Tanya Donnelly.

Today's song, Iris, is a brooding number with a great haunting vocal performance by Kim. Check it out!
