Rough Trade Essential

Formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts, Pixies is a US alternative rock band. The original lineup included Black Francis (vocals, guitar), Kim Deal (bass, vocals), Joey Santiago (guitar), and David Lovering (drums). In 2013, Kim Deal left the band and was temporarily replaced by Kim Shattuck for live performances. Eventually, Paz Lenchantin joined as the permanent bass player.
Pixies gained recognition for their unique sound blending elements of punk rock and surf music with surreal lyrics. Their influential albums like "Surfer Rosa" and "Doolittle" solidified their place in alternative rock history.
With their distinctive style and powerful live performances, Pixies continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Their music remains timeless and continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

Reissue remastered from original tapes.

This album epitomises everyhing that is <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/the-pixies">The Pixies</a>. Every aspect of this album is close to perfection. Produced by Steve Albini, it captures the raw essence of <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/the-pixies">The Pixies</a> in full flight. Black Francis' primal wail is complimented by the sheer brilliance of Joey Santiago on guitar, which in turn is pulled together by the rythmn unit of Kim Deal and David Lovering. <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/the-pixies">The Pixies</a> are without doubt one of the most important bands of the last 20 years.
