The consensus sweats Doolittle and Bossanova, but for my money, 1991’s Trompe Le Monde ranks near the top of the Pixies saga. Arguably their most energetic album from beginning to end, Trompe features absolute head smashers like the anthemic “U-Mass,” the “americanized” Jesus And Mary Chain cover “Head On.” the Frank Black-madness “Planet of Sound,” and the wicked opening title track (love the metal-esque guitar play). These heavyweights get cut with the usual Pixies’ diversion like the halcyon “Bird Dream,” and the psycho-spoken word piece “Subbacultcha”…. you know, when you grope for Luna. Deluxe 180g vinyl reissue.

Back in stock and well timed as the Pixies will be playing the album in full along with it’s predecessor “Bossanova” on their recently announced Tour which will see them play Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre over three nights next March 2024. This is a 180 gram vinyl reissue of the fifth Pixies album and the final studio album with Kim Deal in the line-up. ‘Trompe le Monde’ was a fitting finale, the classic Pixies sound is present throughout as are the effortlessly catchy ‘Black Francis’ melodies. Another must-have from one of the most important bands ever. Product Reviews Hide Show Write a Review
