Doolittle

After their abrasive Surfer Rosa, the Pixies' Elektra debut Doolittle offers more accessible pop while retaining their unique sound. Producer Gil Norton adds polish, and Black Francis' tighter songwriting focuses the group's attack. Doolittle's mix of ferocity and pop is evident in standout tracks like "Here Comes Your Man" and "Debaser." The album also showcases the Pixies' range and experimentation with songs like "Silver" and "Mr. Grieves."
