Whether that means their music remained pure or they missed their chance to cash in is debatable either way, the Pixies are one of America’s greatest, most influential bands.Artist: Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset, Chœur de Chambre de Namur, Antonio Figueroa, Marie-Claude Chappuis, Marc Mauillon, Douglas Williams, Cyril Auvity, Etienne Bazola, Marie-Adeline Henry, Judith Van Wanroij, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro, Marie-Claude Henry

Though Trompe le Monde doesn’t sound quite like the Pixies’ other work, Come on Pilgrim’s spooky beginnings, Surfer Rosa’s abrasive assault, Doolittle’s deceptively accessible punk-pop, and Bossanova’s spacy sonics helped make Trompe le Monde a rousing swan song and a precursor to alternative rock’s imminent success. There’s also more emotional depth: “The Sad Punk” features the strangely poignant bridge “And evolving from the sea/Would not be too much time for me/To walk beside you in the sun,” and “Letter to Memphis” is a heartfelt, if cryptic, love song. He even disses hipsters and pretentious students - basically, the Pixies’ fan base - with nasty little digs like “Subbacultcha”‘s “I was wearing eyeliner/She was wearing eyeliner” and “U-Mass”‘ “It’s eduuucaaationaal!” Musically, “Trompe le Monde”‘s psychedelic sheen and “Alec Eiffel”‘s atmospheric keyboards prove that the Pixies’ sound wasn’t defined by Steve Albini-style rawness. The raucous “Distance Equals Rate Times Time” and the explosive cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Head On” are fairly straightforward, but the lyrics remain quirky on “Planet of Sound,” a song about a Martian who lands on Earth, and “Palace of the Brine,” a tribute to sea monkeys and Utah’s Salt Lake. Yet the band sounds revitalized on Trompe le Monde, as if it were planned as their last hurrah. It focuses on Francis’ sci-fi fascination and lacks any Kim Deal songs even her backing vocals are far and few between. The title might be French for “fool the world,” but with Trompe le Monde, the Pixies weren’t fooling anyone: this was essentially Black Francis’ solo debut.

Studio Master, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © 4AD While the Pixies were touted as the band to bring indie rock into the mainstream, they simply laid the groundwork for the alternative explosion of the early '90sįLAC (tracks) 24-bit/192 kHz | Time – 38:58 minutes | 1,33 GB | Genre: Rock From grunge to Brit-pop, the Pixies' shadow loomed large - it's hard to imagine Nirvana without the Pixies' signature stop-start dynamics and lurching, noisy guitar solos. The Pixies' busy, brief songs, extreme dynamics, and subversion of pop song structures proved one of the touchstones of '90s alternative rock. But the bandmembers were inventive, rabid rock fans who turned conventions inside out, melding punk and indie guitar rock, classic pop, surf rock, and stadium-sized riffs with singer/guitarist Black Francis' bizarre, fragmented lyrics about space, religion, sex, mutilation, and pop culture while the meaning of his lyrics may have been impenetrable, the music was direct and forceful.

The Pixies weren't accomplished musicians - Black Francis wailed and bashed out chords while Joey Santiago's lead guitar squealed out spirals of noise. Combining jagged, roaring guitars and stop-start dynamics with melodic pop hooks, intertwining male-female harmonies and evocative, cryptic lyrics, the Pixies were one of the most influential American alternative rock bands of the late '80s.
