13.-Pixies---Hey
***”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.
Though the band’s second album sound’s cleaner and smoother than the band's debut, there are still plenty of weird, abrasive vignettes, and wide-ranging moods that make it one of their most eclectic and ambitious releases.
***”Doolittle”*** offbeat and dark subject material, featuring references to surrealism, Biblical violence, torture and death, contrasts with the clean production sound achieved by the newly hired producer ***[Gil Norton](https://cutt.ly/lnhhHmQ)***.
While tracks such as ***"[Tame](https://cutt.ly/onkP2vC)"*** and ***"[Crackity Jones](https://cutt.ly/GnkP1vP)"*** are fast and aggressive, and incorporate the band's trademark loud-quiet dynamic, other songs such as ***"[Silver](https://cutt.ly/jnkPBDy)"***, ***"[I Bleed](https://cutt.ly/GnkPCSs)"***, and ***"[Here Comes Your Man](https://cutt.ly/LnkPLmV)"*** reveal a quieter, slower and more melodic temperament.
It breathes beauty and humor back into music upon each listen, and is one of rock's most monumental achievements. If you ask yourself, would the modern rock Nirvana’n’Radiohead explosion that followed a few years later have happened without this album, the answer is simple and expected - no!
***”Hey”*** is the thirteenth song on band’s second album ***"[Doolittle](https://cutt.ly/VnkmNtS)"***, released in April 1989 on ***"[4AD](https://cutt.ly/dnhfevT)"***.
