DESCRIPTION:
1989 Indie Rock / Punk Masterpiece Gets Remastered & Repressed
After 1988's brilliant but abrasive Surfer Rosa, the Pixies' sound couldn't get much more extreme. Their Elektra debut, Doolittle, reins in the noise in favor of pop songcraft and accessibility. Producer Gil Norton's sonic sheen adds some polish, but Black Francis' tighter songwriting focuses the group's attack. Doolittle's most ferocious moments, like "Dead," a visceral retelling of David and Bathsheba's affair -- are more stylized than the group's past outbursts. Meanwhile, their poppy side surfaces on the irresistible single "Here Comes Your Man" and the sweetly surreal love song "La La Love You." The Pixies' arty, noisy weirdness mix with just enough hooks to produce gleefully demented singles like "Debaser," -- inspired by Bunuel's classic surrealist short Un Chien Andalou -- and "Wave of Mutilation," their surfy ode to driving a car into the sea. Though Doolittle's sound is cleaner and smoother than the Pixies' earlier albums, there are s

Pixies is an American alternative rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1986. The original lineup consisted of Black Francis (vocals, rhythm guitar), Joey Santiago (lead guitar), Kim Deal (bass, vocals), and David Lovering (drums). Pixies are associated with the alternative rock movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s and incorporate elements of punk rock and surf rock. Their music is characterised by dynamic loud-quiet-loud shifts and unconventional song structures. Francis is the band’s primary songwriter, and his lyrics often address surreal or unusual themes, including extraterrestrials, incest, and biblical imagery.
Pixies released their debut recording, the mini-album "Come On Pilgrim", in 1987. It was followed by the albums "Surfer Rosa" (1988), "Doolittle" (1989), "Bossanova" (1990), and "Trompe le Monde" (1991). The band disbanded in 1993. During their initial career they achieved limited commercial success in the United States but gained greater popularity in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. Their style influenced numerous later alternative rock artists, including Nirvana, Radiohead, Modest Mouse, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer.
Interest in the band increased after their breakup, leading to a reunion in 2004 and a series of international tours. Kim Deal left the band in 2012 and was replaced by Kim Shattuck for the 2013 tour. Shattuck was later replaced by Paz Lenchantin, who became a full member in 2016. With Lenchantin, Pixies recorded the albums "Head Carrier" (2016), "Beneath the Eyrie" (2019), and "Doggerel" (2022). In 2024, Lenchantin was replaced by Emma Richardson, formerly of Band of Skulls. The band released their ninth studio album, "The Night the Zombies Came", later that year.
