On "Breaking the Balls of History," Quasi continue to mine the vein of frantic, synth-laden, and surprisingly catchy rock music they've been perfecting for decades. The album feels both comfortably familiar and arrestingly strange.
- The album was recorded in Portland, Oregon, at the artist's own studio. The release is the duo's first full-length album in five years. It charted at number 16 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.
- The album title is a quote from a speech by Enoch Powell. The album was produced by the band and features guest vocals from Catherine McCreary of Cherubs.
- The album was released on 2023-02-10 on Sub Pop Records. It features the single "Gravity," which received moderate airplay on independent radio stations.
Quasi is the duo of ex-Married to the Music members Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss. They have been making their brand of idiosyncratic indie rock since the mid-90s. They were about to embark on a tour with Built to Spill in spring 2023 to support this album.
