Long awaited new album from co-founder of indie-rock icons THE BREEDERS who had previously led the influential THROWING MUSES and subsequently went on to form the hugely successful BELLY. This Hungry Life is a collection of languid and gorgeous pop creations that will appeal to fans of Tanya's previous bands (and the 4AD guitar groups in general), as well as more recent artists like MARTHA WAINWRIGHT. Features backing from members of COME and FRANK BLACK & THE CATHOLICS, as well as Buffalo Tom's BILL JANOVITZ on guest vocals and JOAN WASSLER (aka JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN, and member of ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS) on violin.

Tanya had this to say about the process: "This album was recorded during a heat wave in front of a live, patient audience over two nights in Bellows Falls, VT at the Windham, a hotel closed since the 80s except for its small club. The idea was more 'album recorded live' than 'live album'; there were stops and starts, multiple takes, endless tunings, lots of sweating and a little swearing. Every couple of songs, the whole roomful of us would pour out onto the street to let our clothes dry and to breathe some new air. We were all pretty familiar by the end of the weekend. Recording can be tedious and shows nerve-wracking; this was neither. It was a blast, and I loved every second."
