Pixies, Trompe Le Monde
The Boston band’s forth studio album might not be as cherished as the others in the Pixies catalogue, but Trompe Le Monde is an absolute buzzsaw. Highlights include “Alec Eiffel”, “U-Mass”, and a cover of the Jesus & Mary Chain’s “Head On”, which Frank Black used to introduce on stage as a surf-rock song (or maybe Carl Lavin was making that up in the car that one time he was telling this story, who even knows).
Released: September 23, 1991
