...Of course she sings like an angel and writes amazing songs but her genius as a producer/sonic-decision-maker often gets overlooked.
I cosign all of this. I have worked with a lot of people, none of them can hear every little thing and know what it means like her. She listens through the sound to the thing behind the sound, and she is relentless in trying to make if mean something to her.
Absolutely the best at it.

I love that song. There's something real and broken about her singing there that reminds me of some people I know who've done a bunch of shit they regret. Vocal was probably the same mic we'd been using for the rest of the record, probably a Shure SM7 through a John Hardy mic amp. Recorded to GP9 on a Studer A820. Kim was really fond of the sound of a slightly-overloaded cassette dub of the rough mix, so for the final mix we aligned a 1/4-inch 2-track machine for a slight overload (+6>500nWb/m on Agfa PEM408 for technical readers) then copied that to the 1/2-inch master.

Incredible. If you have a chance to see them, do it.

They were incredible. Played the new record in whole, plus "Cannonball" to please the crowd. That material is fantastic, best Breeders tunes I've heard in years. I'm so happy I got to see it in a smaller venue.
