Third Studio Album Remastered on Vinyl LP
2026 Remaster from the Original Analog Tapes
Continuing the band's 40th anniversary celebrations, and hot on the heels of the first official vinyl pressing of their brilliant 4AD Complete B-Sides compilation, Pixies are repressing studio albums Bossanova (1990) and Trompe le Monde (1991) on black vinyl.
These represses feature newly remastered audio with engineer Kevin Vanbergen having returned to the band's original analog tapes to deliver stunning new masters that excitingly reveal more layers to these much-loved records.
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.
