About this album

Bossanova is the Pixies at their most adventurous, folding surf-rock colour and space-age weirdness into the sharp dynamics that made them one of indie rock’s defining bands. Issued in 1990, it arrived as the group were extending the loud-quiet formula that had already set them apart, with Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering pushing their sound towards cleaner hooks and a more expansive, cosmic feel. The record includes landmark songs such as Cecilia Ann, Velouria and Dig for Fire, and is widely regarded as a key bridge between the band’s early ferocity and their later melodic reach.
