Product Details

Reissued on vinyl, Frank Black's 1993 solo debut arrived at a moment when the alt-rock world was watching closely to see what Charles Thompson would do without the Pixies' volatile chemistry to contain him. What he delivered was loose, weird, and deeply American, full of the surfy, sci-fi obsessions and abrupt melodic left turns that made the Pixies essential but filtered through a newfound solo freedom.

Recording his debut album during the hiatus and breakup of the Pixies in late-1992, front-man Black Francis inverted his stage persona for his solo work. Co-produced with Eric Drew- Feldman (Captain Beefheart / Pere Ubu), Frank let his inner rock historian loose on Frank Black, channelling greats like Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys & David Bowie in a thrilling way that felt like a natural next step on from Trompe Le Monde (the last Pixies album before they reconvened two decades later).
