But the Breeders didn't blow up until the Pixies disbanded, Kim brought in her sister Kelley on guitar and they cut an album called "Last Splash" with a song called "Cannonball" on it. "Cannonball" took the spare instrumentation of the songs on "Pod" up-tempo, brightening it with studio effects. It felt more...
