Trompe le Monde bookended a golden run of landmark records released in quick succession that cemented Pixies as one of the best of a generation.
Translated from French to mean “fool the world”, Trompe le Monde showed the band still restless to push their sound forward. With producer Gil Norton again at the controls, their fourth album is arguably their most playful with Black Francis’s lyrics on UFOs and conspiracy theories keeping things weird while power pop creeps in to amplify the space rock established on predecessor Bossanova.
Trompe le Monde goes full throttle with 15 tracks coming in a quickfire 40-minute salvo. It proved to be the end of act one for the band with them taking over a decade before returning to stage together.
