{"product_id":"trompe-le-monde-30th-anniversary","title":"Trompe Le Monde - 30th Anniversary","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor its 30th anniversary, Pixies 1991 album\u003ci\u003e Trompe Le Monde\u003c\/i\u003e is reissued on limited marbled green vinyl. \u003ci\u003eTrompe Le Monde\u003c\/i\u003e bookended a golden run of landmark records - a mini-album followed by four albums, released in quick succession – that cemented Pixies as one of the best for a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated from French to mean “fool the world”, \u003ci\u003eTrompe Le Monde\u003c\/i\u003e showed the band still restless to push their sound forward. Recorded between Burbank, Paris and London, with producer Gil Norton again at the controls, their fourth album is arguably their most playful with Black Francis’s lyrics on UFOs and conspiracy theories keeping things weird while power pop creeps in to amplify the space rock established on predecessor \u003ci\u003eBossanova\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing singles ‘Planet of Sound’, ‘Alec Eiffel’, ‘Letter to Memphis’ and a flawless cover of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Head On’, \u003ci\u003eTrompe Le Monde\u003c\/i\u003e goes full throttle with 15 tracks coming in a quickfire 40-minute salvo. Receiving critical praise at the time and being supported by a huge tour that included playing stadiums with U2, it also proved to be the end of act one for the band with them taking over a decade before returning to stage together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA brilliant record, \u003ci\u003eTrompe Le Monde\u003c\/i\u003e sounds just as fresh 30 years on with outlets such as Pitchfork concurring, retrospectively scoring it 9.3, they called it “more aggressive than anything in their catalog but also more confident. They can handle this now, and they do.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"Green | LP","offer_id":50445707379019,"sku":"1128005","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/976ba45a-d0c9-45fb-9a66-d9cac26c077b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727043748","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/trompe-le-monde-30th-anniversary","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
