The Breeders “Safari” 1992. EP on 4AD Records. Today, June 10th, is twin sisters Kim and Kelley Deal’s birthday (b. 1961). On this beautiful melodic little 4-song release, Kelley and Kim share guitar and vocals, along with Tanya Donelly . Donelly, formerly of Throwing Muses which had toured with the Pixies, left her brief time with the Breeders after Safari was recorded but before its release to form Belly. The EP includes “Do You Love Me Now?” which differs slightly from the version that appears on The Breeders’ 1993 LP Last Splash. “Don’t Call Home,” is brilliant, with a playful speak-sing lyrical delivery and garage-goes-psychedelic guitar. “Safari” has a classic Pixies loud-quiet-loud structure punctuated by lovely and clear soaring ahhh-ahhh-ahhh vocals and “So Sad About Us,” a Who cover, updates the 60′s power pop-rocker by adding Kim’s, Kelley’s and Tanya’s cheerful feminine voices to the pain of breaking up.
