'''''Last Splash''''' is the second studio album by American [alternative rock](/source/alternative_rock) band [the Breeders](/source/the_Breeders), released on August 30, 1993. Originally formed as a side project for [Pixies](/source/Pixies_(band)) [bassist](/source/bass_guitar) [Kim Deal](/source/Kim_Deal), the Breeders quickly became her primary recording outlet. ''Last Splash'' peaked at number 33 on the ''[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))'' [200](/source/Billboard_200) albums chart, and by June 1994, the album had been certified platinum by the [Recording Industry Association of America](/source/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America) (RIAA) for shipments in excess of one million units.

The title of the album is taken from a line in the lyric of its lead single, "[Cannonball](/source/Cannonball_(The_Breeders_song))". The video for "Cannonball" was directed by [Spike Jonze](/source/Spike_Jonze) and [Kim Gordon](/source/Kim_Gordon), and the video for the album's second single "[Divine Hammer](/source/Divine_Hammer_(song))" was directed by Jonze, Gordon and [Richard Kern](/source/Richard_Kern). A looped guitar sample of "S.O.S." was used by the English electronic music band [the Prodigy](/source/the_Prodigy) in their 1996 hit single "[Firestarter](/source/Firestarter_(Prodigy_song))". A sample from "I Just Wanna Get Along" was used in another track by the Prodigy called "World's on Fire" from the ''[Invaders Must Die](/source/Invaders_Must_Die)'' album.
