Pixies There is a bitter personal irony in the moment, a momentary affirmation of a fear that anyone chasing the culture industry contends with occasionally: I got here too late. Anything worth covering has already happened. I don’t really feel that way, of course, but this quickie EP, dropped into the world two days ago, prompts bleak thoughts, at least while it’s on. It’s mercifully brief-- four songs, one, “Indie Cindy”, repeated in a “clean” version-- but considering it is the first new release bearing the Pixies name since 1991’s Trompe Le Monde,it leaves deep marks.Pitchfork
