The Greatest Music
Last Splash
by The Breeders
The 348th greatest album of all time
Last Splash, released in 1993 by The Breeders, is an alternative rock album that blends concise pop songwriting with noisy, guitar-driven textures and playful, off-kilter arrangements. Kim Deal's deadpan vocals and catchy hooks sit alongside tight rhythm parts and bursts of distortion, producing a mix of melodic accessibility and raw, lo-fi grit; it includes the distinctive single "Cannonball" and other tracks that highlight the band's use of surf-tinged riffs, vocal harmonies, and loose, improvisational moments. The record is often cited for its role in shaping the sound and attitude of early 1990s alternative rock.
