The Breeders self release new EP

The Breeders are following up last year's Mountain Battles album with a self-released EP.

Entitled Fate To Fatal, it will be release April 21. It features 4 tracks including "The Last Time" (feat. guest vocals by Mark Lanegan), "Chances Are" (a Bob Marley cover and the title track "Fate To Fatal" which the band have shot a roller derby clip for.

The clip's not out yet but this making of is:



So why the self release? Kim Deal told Pitchfork:

It seems that now, more than at any other time in the past, we could put the music out ourselves - hand-screen some cool artwork ourselves, sell the EPs at our shows and on our website, as well as get them to traditional record stores and other online outlets. So we're just going to press up a thousand twelve-inch vinyls." (The Breeders remain signed to 4AD)

Those Deal sister sure like to keep themselves busy. The Breeders will also be playing and curating All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK in May.
