Bossanova (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. This classic album is available on vinyl for the first time in years. Pressed on audiophile quality 180-gram vinyl.

"...Gil Norton's spacious, reverb-heavy production makes the Pixies sound like a Martian bar band, which fits the cover of the Surftones' 'Cecilia Ann' and the glorious, shimmering closer 'Havalina' perfectly. On the theremin-driven 'Velouria,' science fiction imagery displaces Francis' penchant for fetishistic lyrics; next to the token kinky song 'Down to the Well's tired sound, it's a refreshing change. The similarly cryptic 'All Over the World' and alien abduction tale 'The Happening' add to the sci-fi feel. Quirky pop songs like 'Allison,' a tribute to jazz cool-cat Mose Allison, and 'Dig for Fire,' Francis' self-professed Talking Heads homage, heighten Bossanova's playful, slightly off-kilter vibe..." - All Music Guide
