Bossanova

Pixies
Released 1990Alternative & Indie
ClassicPicked by a lifelong record collector

A surf-and-space-rock peak of sharp invention. Tuneful and beloved. A high point. Released in 1990, it's a key entry in Pixies's run.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
