Mountain Battles is the fourth album from the American alternative rock band The Breeders. The album was released on April 7, 2008 by 4AD in the United Kingdom and April 8, 2008 in the United States.

Kim and Kelley Deal can be seen writing and recording an early demo for "Walk it Off" in the Pixies reunion documentary loudQUIETloud. In December 2007, Pitchfork Media reported the first details about the album and its release, as well as a track listing. The album was gradually recorded in a number of different locales by engineers including Steve Albini, Erika Larson, and Manny Nieto.^[1]

A song from the album, "We're Gonna Rise", was briefly available to listen to on the band's MySpace profile. It was then replaced with another song, "Bang On". Eventually, all of the songs from the album were made available on Myspace.
