...Title TK" is an adroit recreation of the Breeders' early '90s sound, although more atmospheric than the other Breeders albums, as well as slower and more and contemplative. At bottom, the chord progressions, simple guitar lines, and laid-back angularity of the arrangements are still there. But something else is missing, and it's the energy a band tends to give off when it's functioning like a band as opposed to recording artists with back-up musicians. Call it bandness...
