Reviews:

''Bossanova'' is the third album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in August 1990 on the English independent record label 4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. All of ''Bossanova''s original material was written by the band's frontman Black Francis; it marked the point where his artistic control over the band became absolute. The album's sound, inspired by surf and space rock, complements its lyrical focus on outer space, which references subjects such as aliens and unidentified flying objects.

Because of 4AD's independent status, major label Elektra Records handled distribution in the United States; ''Bossanova'' reached number 70 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The album peaked at number three in the UK Albums Chart. Two singles were released from ''Bossanova'', "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire"; both charted, at #4 and #11 respectively on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. - Wikipedia
