"Pod" is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band The Breeders, released in 1990. The album was formed as a side project by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses.
"Pod" is known for its raw and lo-fi sound, characterized by distorted guitars, unconventional song structures, and off-kilter melodies. The album was recorded in just ten days, capturing a spontaneous and experimental energy that became a hallmark of The Breeders' early work.
Standout tracks from the album include the haunting "Fortunately Gone," the frenetic "Hellbound," and the dreamy "Doe." The album's eclectic mix of noisy punk rock, dreamy pop, and avant-garde influences helped establish The Breeders as a unique and influential voice in the alternative rock scene.
Despite initially receiving mixed reviews from critics, "Pod" has since gained a cult following and is considered a seminal album in the alternative rock genre. Its impact can be heard in the work of subsequent artists and bands, cementing The Breeders' legacy as pioneers of experimental rock music.
