In the middle of a busy street in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, The Breeders took a brief break from touring to shoot a homemade video for ‘Nervous Mary’, from their 2018 album, All Nerve. Puppet versions of Kim and Kelley Deal – dressed in custom-knitted outfits made by Finnish fan and professional puppet-maker Milla Risku – go wild performing the song as their real-life counterparts sing live vocals off camera. Wait for the final moments to discover the identity of the puppet-masters…
WATCH ‘NERVOUS MARY’ VIDEO :
Earlier this year, The Breeders released All Nerve, their first album in a decade and their first in 25 years reuniting the iconic Last Splash line-up of Kim and Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson. It reached #2 on four Billboard charts and garnered widespread praise from critics including the New Yorker who declared, ‘the Breeders are a model not simply for the timelessness of good art – the ways in which ingenuity boomerangs – but for what women can accomplish, regardless of whether the culture ever rises up to support them.”
All Nerve, featuring the singles ‘Wait In The Car’, ‘All Nerve’ and ‘Nervous Mary’, is out now digitally and on LP and CD.
“As vital as any of their previous four LPs…The Breeders have proved themselves more consistently thrilling than almost any other band in indie-rock.” Uncut 9/10
“From the off, All Nerve is both a joyous, unhinged blast from the past and a reminder of how fun and free rock can be.”
