The Breeders will be heading back out on the road in North America in September for a handful of dates. When the band announced the tour earlier this year, they promised they would debut some new material. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Kim Deal confirmed they're still planning to perform at least a few new songs and they'll likely record them after the tour is over:
"Right now, five that we can play, three sound really good. One sounds OK and the other we could play if we had a gun to our heads. There are other ones we have not worked on, really pretty ones. We will play the new songs and then probably record them back in Chicago with Albini again."
As for the sound of the new record, Deal told Rolling Stone:
"I don't want it to sound like it was recorded on and mixed in a laptop. We're just guitar, bass and drums. It's an old fashioned outfit. It's just a matter of getting good songs together and recording them. I don't know how to do it any other way."
