GAME-CHANGER

Pixies Come on Pilgrim ... It's Surfer Rosa 4AD Thirty years on from the release of Surfer Rosa, and on the eve of a residency at the Roundhouse, in London, when the band will play the album — and Come on Pilgrim, the scene-setting demo that preceded it — Pixies' remarkable opening gambit receives the bells-and-whistles treatment. Sounding as feral, twisted and deranged as they did on first listen, both discs hare out of the traps, tearing up the rock rulebook and rearranging the pages with glee. Blazing a trail for Nirvana, they are the real game-changing deal. DC [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
