The Amps: Pacer [4AD/Elektra, 1995]
Definitely slight and probably a one-off, which is what we said about the Breeders, this collection of songs for workaday buddy-band is as uneven as the vocal charms it showcases. But showcase them it does--speedy or dreamy, Kim Deal sounds so sane, so unpretentious, so goddamn nice that you want to take her home and give her a shampoo. B+
