Pixies were arguably the best band of the ’80s and the most influential band of the ’90s — just ask Thom, Kurdt, and the rest of the loud-quiet-loud pack. The underground heroes’ original run ended, famously and unceremoniously, with a fax from Black Francis, making 1991’s Trompe Le Monde (which plays like a Frank Black record anyway) the band’s final LP. Several Breeders and Frank Black releases followed, and all the while the Pixies’ legend picked up steam. By 2004 they were so venerated that a worldwide reunion tour cast them as conquering heroes. That tour inspired a documentary, but it didn’t generate any new music besides the Kim Deal curio “Bam Thwok.” Another decade of touring and band drama ensued, but by 2014, the post-Deal Pixies were finally ready to present a new album to the world. Comprising three rapid-fire EPs, Indie Cindy was instantly polarizing; some fans embraced it wholeheartedly as the latest classic in a canon full of them, while others rejected it as a halfhearted disappointment. Whether you heard it as going through the motions or a return to form, it was unmistakably a Pixies LP. Could’ve used more Kim Deal, though!
