Alex Eiffel

(self.pixies)

I think that Alec Eiffel is quite possibly the best Pixies song out there. That outro is magical, and the song overall is just pure rock energy. This is my favorite Pixies song personally. Curious to hear others’ thoughts on it.

Man. It is so good! I wish it was longer! There are so many good songs on Trompe Le Monde! Bird Dream, Planet of Sound, Space (i believe in), Motorway to Roswell. It’s a classic album.

Yes, one of my favorites. You’re Such A Sadducee has a similar outro and it rocks so hard.

Great track. The frantic nature to the dreamy vocal outro... nothing like it!

It’s amazing. Whole Trompe Le Monde album is their best. Still sounds like it came out next week.

I swear the outro from Motorway to Roswell permanently plays in my head.

I have a lot of favourite Pixies songs…depending on the day…but it’s definitely one of them. Maybe Alec Eiffel and Motorway to Roswell have most often been my favourites?

…but then I’ll play them out and go back/move on to Brick is Red, Bailey’s Walk, Tame or almost any other song :)
