The Amps - Pacer
“So listen, baby. Listen. That new Breeders record? I don’t know. It was just aight, dawg. There were times that it was reminding me of when Kim Deal was really killin’ it, like on The Amps record from 1995.”
“Pacer” was all over the map: sloppy, uneven, but using that dreamy dynamic to somehow achieve punchy and fun. I never liked the Breeders as much as I liked this band, and when they finally reformed to put together their last two records at an Axl-like pace, it wasn’t the same.
* This record doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon MP3s, but there are thousands of copies in used CD bins, since, apparently, they were anticipating Breeders-level interest in this, and buyers stayed away in droves.
