"Divine Hammer" is probably the poppiest and sweetest number in
the Breeders' catalogue, and the single does not disappoint. "Hoverin'" would eventually make it to
Kim Deal's
Amps project, but here it is a far more angry, unrehearsed anti-drug song (made more poignant by
Kelley Deal's battles with heroin). The heartfelt rendition of
Hank Williams, Sr.'s "I Can't Help It" showcases
Kelley's beautiful voice, while
J. Mascis's remix of "Do You Love Me Now" features his trademark whining in harmony with
Kim Deal's original vocal line. A relaxed affair to be sure, but as with most
Breeders' B-sides, this is more wonderful pop from a band that never quite got its due.
