Trompe le Monde opens with the record’s title track, a short song which demonstrates some of Joey Santiago’s most impressive guitar tricks. The Pixies once said that this album, which was to be their last studio album, was going to be, “a full-on rock record”. The opener sets the vibe for the rest of the album, with the band’s punkish, at times tragic, and less frequently tuneful songs, only three of which last for more than three minutes.
Look out for “Motorway to Roswell”, “Subbacultcha”, “Letter to Memphis” – possibly one of the greatest songs of all time – and “U-Mass”, which is supposedly the “inspiration” for Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Sprirt” – make your own mind up.
This album could easily be widely accepted as a classic if it were given more exposure, as with the rest of their material.
