Bossanova is the third studio album by American rock band Pixies. It was released in August 13, 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. The album's sound, inspired by surf rock and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.

Released August 13, 1990. 1. Cecilia Ann Lyrics. This lyrical hodgepodge is folded into the sonically controlled chaos the Pixies perfected by this part of their career. It’s confusing and it’s simple. Even the title of the album is open for interpretation: a Brazilian style of music employed in some songs, a really cool (boss) star explosion, or a typo (Bossa nova is the genre of music).

Bossanova is the third album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in August 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD. All of Bossanova's original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; it marked the point where his artistic control over the band became absolute. The album's sound, inspired by surf and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.

The choruses & verse which follow. the bridge contain a few variations from the ones shown, but none. significantly different. Opening chords: E E Bbm Intro (solo played over chords appearing at top): Bbm A C F A Bbm A -. 10-11-10-8-10-8- --11--11-11-11--. 11--11-11s8-8-7-- -. C F A C Ab - -. 10-11-10-8-10-8- -11--11--11-11

Bossanova, along with what many have said to be the Pixies weakest album, is probably the most experimental Pixies album. Joey Santiago and Black Francis had always been huge surf rock fans. That influence is very obvious throughout most of Bossanova. The first song on Bossanova, Cecilia Ann, takes this idea and runs with it. The very first note of Cecilia Ann is that of a guitar that has that heavy, distorted surfer rock guitar sound. Then everything comes in as if it’s a mirage.

Agree that it is a bass shy mastering, but it is very bright and enjoyable to the ear, as expected from mo fi.
Kizshura Kizshura
I have a copy of this album and the "Special Limited Edition" section number is blank. Is this album supposed to be numbered?
Yndanol Yndanol
my copy also has the number section blank, and came in a promo pack from Music Direct marketing.
Vozuru Vozuru
Its not numbered as its a promo. Should be worth fractionally more generally speaking...
Oso Oso
My copy comes numbered using stamped gold foil. Not sure why yours isn't.

Found this remaster to be a bit bright & bass shy. According to a convo w/ MOFI, they stated the condition/degridation of the orig master tape was responsible and trying to recover the missing frequencies via EQ would have affected other areas of the record. Oh well.. :(
Wymefw Wymefw
I agree. I had to turn the bass WAY up on this record. Something seemed off about this record and now I know..I might look into getting an original press.
