The Breeders have shared a filmed live session, Live in Big Sur. The stripped-back impromptu session, which was recorded during a visit to the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, California.

The footage captures the band at their most organic; artfully directed by James Brylowski with illustrations from animator Pedro Eboli. Tracks performed in the session include "Divine Hammer", "Do You Love Me Now", "Drivin’ on 9" and "Invisible Man".

“Last fall at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur our show was rained out. The sky cleared just as dusk fell & someone said: let’s go into the forest. So in a grove of redwoods we played a few songs for the hermit thrushes and spotted owls. Thank you Mark Satterthwaite and crew for filming it.”

Following the 30th anniversary edition of Last Splash that was released last year, the band are currently on the road for their UK and European tour, and will play a sold out London headline show at Troxy with support from Big Joanie, this evening.

Kim Deal is currently Artist in Residence on BBC 6 Music, with an episode aired every day this week (Monday to Thursday, 11pm-Midnight BST) and later available on BBC Sounds.
