New Vinyl Record - Pixies - Doolittle

"The Pixies' second full-length album proved that noisy, arty college rock could be just as fun as anything else on MTV. With his antic vocal style and free-associative lyrics, singer-guitarist Black Francis seemed detached from humanity, but the rest of the Pixies grounded him. Bassist Kim Deal adds tart harmonies that feel like sarcastic asides, drummer David Lovering powers the loud-quiet-loud dynamic that influenced Nirvana and many others, and guitarist Joey Santiago tosses out concise, buzzing riffs. The Pixies' second album is loaded: With 'Debaser,' 'Here Comes Your Man,' 'Monkey Gone to Heaven,' 'Hey,' and 'Gouge Away,' it's the college-radio version of a greatest-hits album."-Rolling Stone, The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
