CD - Pixies - Trompe Le Monde (Pre-Order)

1 CD - released September 11

Continuing the band's 40th anniversary celebrations, and hot on the heels of the first official vinyl pressing of their brilliant 4AD B-Sides compilation, Pixies have repressed "Trompe le Monde" (1991) on both black vinyl and CD.

Featuring newly remastered audio, engineer Kevin Vanbergen returned to the band's original analogue tapes to deliver stunning new masters that excitingly reveal more layers of this much-loved record. "Trompe le Monde" bookended a golden run of landmark records released in quick succession that cemented Pixies as one of the best of a generation.

Translated from French to mean "fool the world", "Trompe le Monde" showed the band still restless to push their sound forward. With producer Gil Norton again at the controls, their fourth album is arguably their most playful with Black Francis' lyrics on UFOs and conspiracy theories keeping things weird while power pop creeps in to amplify the space rock established on predecessor "Bossanova".
