Bossanova

Description

With a keen sense of the absurd, Black Franciss (now Frank Black) Pixies were the consummate darlings of the music pressno surprise, with their refreshing mix of overblown guitars, discreet nods to the surreal and a vibrant grasp of pure pop that offered a luscious blow to the senses on execution. Cecilia Ann stood somewhere between spandex metal and Beach Blanket Bingo, while the deranged singalong of Is She Weird sat alongside the first single, Velouria, underlining their ability to write timeless singles that filled the head and sent toes tapping incessantly out of time. A recent compilation confirmed their standing.
