This week, Sam takes a look at the second studio album from American alternative rock band The Breeders "Last Splash." Released in 1993, this album is considered to be their best work and one of the best indie albums of the 90s.
This was fun. The great cliches of rural american music: factory closures, no good cheatin', "i done a crime and will be hanged", "troubles I got - you have no idea mate", "this town is fucked, i'm leaving" and the classic "all my problems are solved by drinking to excess". As well as few songs about significant weather events and a couple of warnings that war is bad and love is a bit tricky.
