The Breeders - Pod Demos (Remastered) 

RIP Steve A From Shellac to The Breeders and then some, my favorite grundge was produced by that man. He saw the talent in the cracks.

The Breeders are seriously the most underrated band in music history

Pod is probably my favorite album from the 90s. I remember being introduced to it on a tiny boom box by a girl named Hanna. Glorious and Fortunately Gone are two of my most favorite songs ever. I love how much faster and upbeat they sound here.

These are some of the most raw and realest tracks I've ever heard.

I think next year is a bloody good opportunity for a long overdue anniversary issue of 'Pod' with demos and other bells and whistles! ❤

i’ve never heard rave on until today and my life is completely changed holy hell

With THIS I can kind of see how Tonya Donnelly came into play. The Breeders were originally supposed to feature many of her songs used for the Belly LP Star, before she broke away. And I always thought- “HOW?? The styles are NOTHING alike”. The Breeders’ album art color schemes from 90- 93 as well as the Amp’s pacer are totally synesthetically spot on. The songs are sweet, fruity, sticky, sweaty, tropical tinted little explosions of sound- while Belly’s stuff was dark yet sparkly shades of blue, purple and green. BUT the demo versions of these songs share a lot more middle ground with what Tonya did with Belly & I see how it could definitely have worked, had they split the song duties for The Breeders as originally intended.

Oh wow this is awesome...when I think back to late 80s / early 90s I liked Belly, Lush, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, dance stuff ..I don't know..Suzanne Vega. all sorts! But I was more led by Grunge in terms of anything American, it's only now reading the book 'Facing the other way' re 4AD that I'm realising what I've missed out on! I honestly thought that Cannonball was the only Breeders song worth bothering with...just goes to show how wrong I was! ... and this post is part of my new education!! Thanx!! 👍😄

always a huge fan of Pod, I find myself thinking how much and why I like the demos even more. This is truly amazing!

The rythm, voice, such an amazing band👏

16 year ol me and 33 year ol me cry and thank you at the same time for keeping this up and alive

Thank you for this.. The Breeders are the best..

Hey, as a fan of music(especially the rare and under appreciated) I want to thank you for running this channel. For as long as RU-vid allows you, you shall be an excellent archiver

I love so much the breeders for ever!!!! 💋✨

I really love the Pod Demos. I just wish my bootleg vinyl sounded this good 😻 thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

How come I had never heard these demos before? Pod is one of my all-time favourite records; lost none of its strange appeal in 30 years. Thanks, great upload! Kim's unique songwriting and wonderful voice shine through, here, even without Albini's production, but I have to say that the LP sounds more coherent to me. Overcome would have felt out of place on Pod, I think, though it would have been great on Last Splash (of course, finally, we've had Bragging Party, but still...) Also, I really like what Gil Norton did with Silver. The song is superb and strange as it is, but Norton added another layer of strangeness to it, making it almost otherworldly.

Thanks for posting this. Rave on is phenomenal.

oh my god thx for this,,,, something strange happens to me anyway, i really like the original video you uploaded with the slight pitch error, it's strange but i listened the demos first than the original álbum and besame obsesed, shortly after hearing the original i was kind of deeilusioned by the speed altough i became fan of it slowly and started loving it. but anyway,,,,,, every time i listen to the original pod demos video you uploaded i get chills as the first time. thx for that

Wow the bass actually hits on this

Thanks for these. I have so many different versions of these demos all with slightly different speed and pitch. It'd be great to have these released officially so I could chuck out all the others!

I just had part of that in an old tape...thanks a million!

Rave on ❤️

Thank you for this. Overcome rules.

This should have been on the radio!!🎸

I love this version of Only in 3s!

This is so awesome!

Goes to show how much Brit brought to the final version of this record

I love these demos, but you can see what Britt's drumming brought to the album's final versions.

Thank you so much for this. Just amazing

Thank you for sharing this, only just stumbling on it. The RU-vid algorithm finally doing something right for a change 👍 Pod is seriously one of my a,l time favourites and it was interesting to hear some of the tracks that never made it. Also Silver being on there as well, kudos… that first tracks real nice , many thanks 👍

Kim Deal is pretty much the only musician that hadn't let me down through the decades. she was 70% of the Pixies, their cornerstone.

Love this! Obviously Ivo did too!

Thank you for uploading.

Wow loved the first track, I'm pretty sure that's not on the studio version of POD but it's amazing, sounds like Tame Impala or Talking Heads or something but it's The Breeders, love it.

silver was a big surprise

Love these demos! Better than the originals in my opinion!

Always and forever

Only in 3’s is such a great song. I wonder why they didn’t keep the part that starts at 4:09, I really like it.

Walfords does make a massive difference, but it was Albini's idea to hire him.

先ず、曲の良さに胸が掻きむしられる

i love her voices

I am re-born. This is just a wonderful batch of epic demo songs. Thank you, 90s Archive - you made my year. Can this be bought on a CD ?

Defo blown away! Where did you get this? Why have Breeders not released this?!!!!

Wow! What a redemption

OMG I FORGOT THERES A COVER OF SILVER ON HERE!!!

Jumped straight to Silver. My reaction, simply put, was, "No, No, Yes!". Good work! Still can't figure out those extra lines though: into pieces? candy kisses? empty cases?

Why was first track not on the real album, it sounds amazing

Gracias por subirlo. Tengo el cd original y, aunque desde luego no soy un experto, me parece que las voces se escuchan mejor en esta versión. El disco está muy bien. He descubierto la banda hace poco y no puedo entender porque han tenido tan poca repercusión, al menos en mi país -España-.

Gracias

And they still say Albini only recorded with little input ...

Mind blown by this. Tanya's vocals on an equal level with Kim's is gob smacking. If this pre-dated Doolittle that means La La Love You is a steal from Fortunately Gone! What's the line-up? 100% sounds like Dave from the Muses on drums.

Who plays drums here? There were two drummers, one Is David Narcizo and who's the other? On IMDb a description says the other drummer in demos was David Lovering which is totally untrue.

The funny thing about this is... EVERY SONG IS LIGHT YEARS BETTER ON THEIR ALBUM VERSIONS EXCEPT GLORIOUS the harmony made glorious

did rave on become a different song? if not, WTFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

woa shanks!!

Is Britt Walford drumming on these? Doesn't sound like it

WHERE did you get this? Kim's basement?

alguien lo tiene para bajarlo y escucharlo en mi celular ...porfabor!!!

Wow, Tanya really made them a better band!

Any information on rave on?

😍😍

21:45 Divine Hammer?

Is Britt. From slint

Albini really made a new album, some of these demos are not so good

Really cool of you to share this with everyone. Would you be kind enough to upload this on Mediafire or Dropbox?

I hate the violin in "When I Was A Painter," but I love what she was trying to do with it. I would love to hear this version with a synth playing that part instead.

omg

Where can I buy this album????

These are fantastic songs, and to my ears these demos sound much better than the album versions. The guitar parts in the album versions seem to have too little low end, so the songs sound thinner and weaker compared to the demos. I think Steve Albini is overrated as a producer. Many great albums have been recorded by him but in all cases the demos of these albums sound better than Albini's versions. At least that's how I perceive it
