Pixies release four archival tracks on streaming services
The Pixies have released four previously unheard songs from the late 1980s and early 1990s on digital streaming platforms. The collection includes “Dig for Fire (Albini Version),” recorded in late 1987 during the Surfer Rosa sessions, which predates the version found on the 1990 album Bossanova by nearly three years.
Other released tracks include “Go Man Go,” a song co-written by Black Francis and Kim Deal that was recorded during both the Bossanova and Last Splash sessions but omitted from those respective albums. The release also features “Brackish Boy,” an early version of a track later recorded for Black Francis’s 1993 solo debut, and “Punk Loop,” which was captured during the 1991 Trompe le Monde sessions.
These tracks were previously only available via limited-edition bonus 7-inch singles included with Dinked International’s remastered vinyl pressings of Bossanova and Trompe le Monde.
