Description
Pixies' Elektra debut, Doolittle, reins in the noise in favor of pop songcraft and accessibility. Producer Gil Norton’s sonic sheen adds some polish, but Black Francis’ tighter songwriting focuses the group’s attack. Doolittle’s most ferocious moments, like ‘Dead,’ a visceral retelling of David and Bathsheba’s affair – are more stylized than the group’s past outbursts.
