Kim Deal is releasing the first in a series of self-released 7" singles this weekend to coincide with her solo gig at All Tomorrow's Parties' Nightmare Before Christmas in Camber Sands Holiday Park, England. Deal's single, "Walking With A Killer" b/w "Dirty Hessian" will be available to purchase this weekend exclusively at the concert, as it appears Deal does not have an official website yet. She is planning to self-release more material in the future (she's recorded demos of songs with a full band as well as some acoustic material) and is currently mulling over how exactly to release the material (singles vs ep vs album, etc.) So new solo music is on the way, stay tuned!
Kim Deal revealed in a new interview with Wears The Trousers that the Breeders' classic album Last Splash will be reissued next year as part of the album's 20th anniversary. The band and label 4AD are currently going through old material and organizing the anniversary release. Deal revealed the reissue will include demos, and b-sides, and may also feature the band's rare 1992 Safari EP (featured Kelley Deal and Tanya Donelly as part of the lineup). The Breeders are also rehearsing for an anniversary tour!
