Ep release by The Breeders. After Pod (1990) the band members returned to their original bands, and Tanya Donelly was in the making of forming the band Belly, while Kim would bring in her twin sister Kelley to substitute Tanya. The Safari release is the only with both Tania and Kelley performing. Stylistically, it appears as the continued style from Pod; however, looking at the writing and instrument credits it becomes clear that The Breeders is more of a Kim Deal-project than a Deal / Donelly project, which also explains Donelly's wish to form a band of her own. Three tracks here are written by Kim (either alone or with someone else than Tania), and the last track is a cover written by Pete Townshend. The first track also appears on Last Splash (1993), and it's written by the two Kelley sisters.
The ep appears as a step up in terms of solid songs, and it showcases Kim Deal's capabilities as songwriter.
