The Breeders‘ classic second album Last Splash, featuring “Cannonball,” “Divine Hammer,” and more, turns 30 in August, and to celebrate they’ve announced a new deluxe vinyl reissue and North American tour where they’ll play it in full.
The deluxe vinyl reissue has been half-speed remastered from the original analogue tapes and pressed onto double 45RPM clear vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. It also comes with a bonus disc featuring two previously unreleased tracks on one side — “Divine Mascis” and “Go Man Go” — and an etching on the other. Preorder the vinyl and check out “Go Man Go” via its brand new music video directed by Brandon Weaver of Ironwing Studios below.
As for the tour, it kicks off September 7 in Cleveland and includes dates with their 4AD labelmates and former Breeders member Tanya Donelly’s band Belly (West Coast), Horsegirl (Midwest) and Screaming Females (East Coast). Before that, The Breeders are also out on a few dates opening for Foo Fighters. All dates are listed below.
