Last Splash, the second album and commercial breakthrough from The Breeders, is turning 30 years old in 2023, with the album getting a special 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition that will release on Sept. 22 via 4AD. The album originally released in 1993 featuring a lineup of Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson, with "Cannonball" as its most prominent single.

The new edition is entirely remastered from the original tapes, plus two previously unreleased songs -- one of which, "Go Man Go," was shared this week.

The band will also tour in the fall, playing the album in its entirety, with support from Belly, Screaming Females, and Horsegirl.
