Debut Solo Album On Vinyl LP!
Inverting his stage name from Black Francis to Frank Black, the Pixies lead singer/songwriter embarked on a solo career after he broke up the band in early 1993. Actually, he began recording his solo album before he told the band the news.
Working with former Pere Ubu member Eric Drew Feldman, Black occasionally heads into the ferocious post-punk guitar territory that marked such landmark albums as Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, but more frequently he plays up his considerably underrated melodic side.
His self-titled 1993 debut album was an adventurous sketchbook of pop styles ranging from surf rock to heavy metal, from Beatlesque pop to new wave.
Frank let his inner rock historian loose on Frank Black, channeling greats like Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys & David Bowie in a thrilling way that felt like a natural next step on from The Pixies' Trompe Le Monde
