***”Pixies”*** are an American alternative rock band formed in 1986 in **Boston, Massachusetts**. Until 2013, the band comprised ***[Black Francis](
https://cutt.ly/xng3x37)*** (vocals, rhythm guitar, songwriter), ***[Joey Santiago](
https://cutt.ly/Jng3zxi)*** (lead guitar), ***[Kim Deal](
https://cutt.ly/nng3b1L)*** (bass, backing vocals) and ***[David Lovering](
https://cutt.ly/hng3Wy6)*** (drums).
The band disbanded acrimoniously in 1993, but reunited in 2004. After Deal left in 2013, Pixies hired ***[Kim Shattuck](
https://cutt.ly/Qng3OIr)*** as a touring bassist; she was replaced the same year by ***[Paz Lenchantin](
https://cutt.ly/6ng3SPH)***, who became a permanent member in 2016.
Combining jagged, roaring guitars and stop-start dynamics with melodic pop hooks, intertwining male-female harmonies, and evocative, cryptic lyrics, ***"Pixies"*** are one of alternative rock's most influential bands.
They turned conventions inside-out, melding punk and indie guitar rock, classic pop, surf rock, and stadium-sized riffs with bizarre, fragmented lyrics about space, religion, sex, mutilation, and pop culture. No matter how much lyrics may have been impenetrable, the music was direct, forceful, and laid the groundwork for the alternative explosion of the early '90s.
***”Bossanova”*** is the band’s third studio album released on August 13, 1990 on the English independent record label ***"[4AD](
https://cutt.ly/dnhfevT)"*** in the United Kingdom and by ***”[Elektra Records](
https://cutt.ly/2nhWZkD)”*** in the United States.
The album's sound, inspired by surf rock and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.
***"[Surfer Rosa](
https://cutt.ly/znkmZnk)"*** at times sounded very bleak and hollow, with clanging guitars, stark bass, and echoing drums. Meanwhile, ***"[Doolittle](
https://cutt.ly/VnkmNtS)"*** found the group embracing more of a pop punk sound that was a tad bit more lush in it's production. Here on ***"Bossanova"***, the guitars have a very bouncy way about them on some songs, but also the band's softer side and founding different uses for extreme dynamics.
If this is a pop album, then it's a pop album like no other, proving that the ***”Pixies”*** can indeed make any style their own.
