Pixies – Beneath the Eyrie LP Vinyl Record

The follow-up to 2016’s “Head Carrier” is the Pixies seventh studio album “Beneath The Eyrie.” Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and Paz Lenchantin worked with producer Tom Dalgety on this release to recapturethe rabid velocity, boundless invention and vivid, enveloping aesthetic of Pixies’ legendary early albums. Visceral, musically cinematic, otherworldly but strangely familiar, the album tells tales of witches, Daniel Boone, misfits and other characters, fitting utterly into the band’s inherent weirdness.

Quirky, catchy melodies have always been Pixies’ calling card and on “Beneath the Eyrie,” their third post-reunion album, the alt-rock icons indulge everything from jaunty, old-timey Kurt Weill oom-pah rhythms to 10-foot waves of surf guitar. Frontman and chief songwriter Black Francis has said that the group embraced their most “gothic” urges with the record’s music (though he never comes off sounding like Rozz Williams) and the album is a bit darker and a little more muted than their other recent offerings. “Beneath the Eyrie” is Pixies being great again on their own terms.
