Bossanova (2026 Remaster): Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change. Label: 4AD Release Date: 11th September Fresh remasters of Pixies 90s output, which can often get overshadowed by the impossible to reach highs of their previous albums but remaining a band still dictating the pace of alt-rock amongst their contemporaries, forever playing catch-up. Bossanova is the third Pixies album. The band continued to work with Gil Norton after collaborating to such success on their platinum-selling second album Doolittle. Their third album in as many years, 1990 was a particularly fertile time for the band with Kim Deal also having success with The Breeders, who released their debut album Pod just a few months prior. Featuring the singles ‘Allison’ (a tribute to jazz and blues pianist Mose Allison), ‘Dig For Fire’ and ‘Velouria’, plus the first cover to feature on one of their albums ‘Cecilia Ann’ (originally by The Surftones), Bossanova showed a less primal side to the band, with surf and space rock rising to the fore. Lyrically, Black Francis is even more cryptic with a recurring sci-fi theme running throughout, which in turn influenced Vaughan Oliver’s classic planet design for the sleeve. Tracklisting: 1/A1.
