Doolittle: Abrupt Shifts

Really exciting episode for Matt who gets to dissect The Pixies’ vibrant, enduring classic Doolittle, an album as influential as it was weird in 1989. The Pixies’ now basically patented loud-soft-loud (or soft-loud-soft if they were feeling feisty) stands the test of time and endures in many an album from the 90s and 00s, including The Mars Volta’s delightfully insane De-Loused in the Comatorium and Modest Mouse’s first masterpiece, The Lonesome Crowded West. Tune in to hear which album makes the most affecting use of Pixies-esque abruptness.
