Bossanova Pixies
Our first ever review. Reads like it too. In any case, the album can certainly boast a groove, but it lacks the edge of Pixies' best work.
Welcome
All this started as three friends talking about music, and it remains just that - a shared exploration, which we now want to share with you.
Weezer (The Blue Album) Weezer
Weezer were unapologetically weird, yet strangely glamorous, which in itself brought a warming message; they showed us that it was cool to be uncool.
Gish The Smashing Pumpkins
The record is a rich and gloriously grubby collage of sounds. It stands somewhere between Pixies and Nirvana, with an added injection of psychedelic rock.
Doolittle Pixies
Doolittle balances boisterous oddness with sweet and sugary pop tunes, making it not only Pixies' most intriguing record, but also the most accessible.
Daydream Nation Sonic Youth
Noisy and arty, the album remains a kind of anti-epic; 70 minutes of exploratory rock with a flagrant disregard for pacing or commercial viability.
The Sophtware Slump Grandaddy
Despite extended musical passages and eccentric lyrics, The Sophtware Slump is remarkably accessible. It's pop music for art students.
The Moon & Antarctica Modest Mouse
Provided you're in the right mood, The Moon & Antarctica is one of the standout indie rock releases of the 2000s.
The Great Dismal Nothing
Unabashedly grim, but reassuringly gentle. The album's striking cover art of a menacing but fragile old man is a good indicator of what to expect.
