08/03/1993 | Happy Release Day 1993 | Frank Black - Frank Black 4AD #FrankBlack #4ad #blackfrancis @pixiesofficial @4ad Allmusic: „Despite his efforts to escape the Pixies' sound, many of Frank Black's songs would have fit on Trompe Le Monde. „ Chicago Tribune: „But the album never sounds cluttered or overbearing. With its effortless melodies and alluring, if oblique, lyrics, "Frank Black" is a worthy successor to the Pixies' post-punk legacy.“ Rolling Stone: „Frank Black doesn't sound like a Pixies album, which is to Black's credit. It's funnier, more musically whimsical and varied, looser in spirit.“ „He's a kind of stout, ironic weirdo who in concert often can't mask his contempt for the crowd and who once said that the only reason he gets out of bed every day is for breakfast.“ Select Magazine: „All 15 tracks are shot through with Frank's shrewd goofy personality and queer, rare musical gift. The word genius' might not be too strong. And, as we celebrate the renaissance of foppish English pop, how ironic that a chubby, American ex-college boy in a plaid shirt should make what is undoubtedly going to be one of the LPs of the year.“ 4AD:
"In 1991, I was working on an album that would eventually be called Trompe Le Monde and released on 4AD by the Pixies. The sessions were being produced by Liverpudlian Gil Norton, and during them we had some discussions about what would eventually become my first solo record, Frank Black (at that time I was still performing under the Nom de Rock, Black Francis). Trompe Le Monde was then still far from finished, but I told Gil that I was already keen on getting back into a recording session, even though I had no material. So, the concept at that time became an album made up mostly of covers; songs that I had come to know and love over the years, of course. And although this was an unoriginal concept, and one poorly executed by numerous artists, I still felt compelled by this flimsy excuse to get into a studio (here I'll say in passing that I thoroughly enjoyed "Pin Ups" by David Bowie).“ https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2Cj-Yskic/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 : Killer Debut 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆: @vinylgoneviral Pixies’ demo tape was so good the record label insisted on releasing parts of it as their debut EP rather than risk losing any of the quality by re-recording. Listening to Come On Pilgrim, it was the right call! ‎#fridaymusicchallenge created by: @grooves.andneedles @fridaymusicchallenge #pixies #blackfrancis #kimdeal #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #vinylcollective #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CQkTZPjMbp-/?utm_medium=tumblr

#surferrosa #thepixies #blackfrancis #kimdeal #joeysantiago #davidlovering #stevealbini Boston has so much to be proud of , like #themodernlovers and #markkates & #fenwaypark & #fenwayrecordings and so much more . The Pixies are simply phenomenal. This brilliant piece of vinyl demonstrates it. This is Steve Albini at his best! The drum sound, the songs , the banter in the studio, “ I’ll kill you if you touch my stuff! “ #bonemachine it is one of the best songs of the 80’s period! And my wife Zoe loves this band - glad I married her This is beautiful chaos at its best . You know the album you put on and makes you want to jump up and go F**K YEAH! And they were all that live and on 4AD Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/COMYmQinqYY/?igshid=1b5gexhn8mf0z
