Разработка и запись
[ редактировать ]Заводчики выпустили свой четвертый студийный альбом Mountain Battles весной 2008 года, и сделки продолжали писать новые песни. [ 1 ] Ближе к концу своего тура 2008 года они были в Великобритании и решили записать новую судьбу «Фатала» в Fortress Studios в Лондоне. [ 1 ] Песня потребовалось около двух дней, чтобы записать и микшировать, в том числе время, потратив на перенос своего музыкального оборудования в студию и настройку. [ 2 ] The engineer was Gareth Parton, with assistants Tom Morris and Nick Trepka.[3]
Later, the Breeders found out that they would be curating the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival[1]—held on May 15, 2009 in Minehead, United Kingdom.[4] They had been playing their Mountain Battles material for several months, and decided that it would be nice to have new songs to perform.[5] Their first thought was to put out one or two songs on a single, but subsequently decided to release an EP instead.[6] They had three original compositions that they wanted to release, but felt that this would be too short for an EP, so they decided to also do a cover of Bob Marley's "Chances Are".[6] They recorded this at Electrical Audio in Chicago, with engineer Steve Albini and assistants Dominique D'Amico and Gregoire Yeche.[3]
The Breeders recorded "Pinnacle Hollow" and "The Last Time" in Kim Deal's basement,[7] at her home in Dayton, Ohio,[3] with engineer Ben Mumphrey.[3] Kim and Kelley recorded the latter track in January 2009; Breeders Mondo Lopez and Jose Medeles were not present.[8] They then sent the track to Mark Lanegan, who recorded his vocals elsewhere, and sent it back to them.[8] The assistant engineer for "Pinnacle Hollow" was James Hutchinson.[3]
Songs
[edit]Reviewers have characterized "Fate to Fatal" as "ramshackle",[9] "jarring and ... exuberant".[10] The music and singing alternates between loud and quiet,[5][10] reminiscent of the dynamic that Kim's former group, Pixies, is known for.[5] Kim notes that the song's title refers to the line "What men pray for, what men cradle/I've gone from fate to fatal";[11] she describes the song as about a lonesome person who does not know how to connect with other people.[8]
Kim Deal has stated that "The Last Time" is about "moments where ... [one feels] gutted, taken down in life".[8] When she wrote the song, she imagined it being sung by a man.[8] She recorded a version with her singing it herself,[6][8] but felt that she did not convey enough pain in her performance.[8] While discussing Mark Lanegan's work with a friend, she decided to ask him to sing on the track, and he agreed.[8] Lanegan's vocals have been compared to Lou Reed's,[9] and described as "weary"[9] and as a "pallbearer growl".[5]
Kim and Kelley Deal had been listening to,[8] and considering recording a cover of,[6] "Chances Are" for about ten years. They had experimented with adding instruments such as drums and stand-up bass,[6] but their version on Fate to Fatal is a more minimalist,[5][6][12] acoustic rendition.[10] In interviews, the Deals have noted that while Bob Marley is associated with reggae, "Chances Are" comes from his earlier, doo-wop period.[11][13]
"Pinnacle Hollow", in which Kim hears a Neil Young influence,[12] has been described as having a "bluesy"[5][9][10] and a "slightly spooky"[9] sound. There are approximately two and a half minutes of instrumentation before the vocals start.[9] Kim and Kelley sing—in a manner that has been characterized as "deadpan"[9]—lines such as "I don't know a sin I haven't found"[10] and "up and down the road...." Kim was originally going to call the composition "Up and Down" but later decided on "Pinnacle Hollow", named after Pinnacle Holler, a place where the Deals' mother grew up in West Virginia.[8]
Cover
[edit]The EP's cover was designed by Chris Glass.[14] Not long before this, Glass had designed the logo for U.S. president Barack Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.[14] The Fate to Fatal design was Glass's first work doing a record cover.[15] Glass, who is related to the Deals through marriage,[14] had been a fan of the Breeders' music and of the work of Vaughan Oliver,[15] who had designed most of the group's covers for 4AD.

All of the Breeders' previous albums and EPs had been released on the record label 4AD: up until 2002's Title TK Kim Deal was under contract with that label, and the Breeders released 2008's Mountain Battles with 4AD as a "one-off".[6][12] For Fate to Fatal, they considered whether it was worthwhile to negotiate again with 4AD to release it as well.[6][12] They conferred with friends in the music industry, including Albini, Bob Weston, and former 4AD owner Ivo Watts-Russell, and decided to release the EP themselves independently,[19] on Period Music.[3] On April 21, 2009,[11] they released 1000 copies on vinyl for Record Store Day; they also made the EP available digitally.[1]
Video
[edit]The Breeders made a music video for the song "Fate to Fatal", co-directed by Lopez and James Ford.[20] They shot the video at the St. Louis Skatium, a roller rink in St. Louis, where they filmed the Arch Rival Rollergirls women's roller derby team.[20] The idea for this setting came when by chance Kelley met groups of roller derby athletes in the summer and autumn of 2008: first, an Arch Rival member named Amy Whited that the Deals had known since her childhood; next, a roller derby team at a Barack Obama benefit in Cincinnati; then, a different team at a craft competition in Minnesota.[20] The "Fate to Fatal" video also includes footage of the Breeders in studio.[20]
