"New Year" comes off Last Splash, the Breeders' second album, released August 30, 1993. The band started life as Kim Deal's sideline from her bass job in the Pixies and quickly became her main recording outlet. This song is hers top to bottom: she wrote the music and the words, then produced it with Mark Freegard, who engineered with Sean Leonard and Andy Taub assisting.
Kim and Kelley Deal both play guitar on it, Josephine Wiggs is on bass and Jim MacPherson drums, and Wiggs sings along with both Deals. It's the sound of a side project that grew teeth: scrappy, loose-limbed and wired.
