Expected Release 11th September 2026

Continuing their 40th anniversary celebrations, Pixies announce previously unreleased songs dating from 1987 to 1991 as part of remasters of their albums Bossanova and Trompe le Monde being released on 11th September. In addition to being available on CD, digital and standard black vinyl formats, two special limited-edition vinyl pressings exclusive to Dinked’s newly launched Dinked International Editions will contain four unearthed songs – ‘Dig For Fire (Albini Version)’, ‘Go Man Go’, ‘Brackish Boy’, and ‘Punk Loop’.

Dinked's new expansion as "Dinked International Editions" is in partnership with 50 stores in the UK, Ireland and the USA. Their exclusive Bossanova oxblood vinyl package will include a 16-page, 10” replica of the original UK booklet (featuring incorrect tracklisting) and a 7” of the songs ‘Dig For Fire (Albini Version) and ‘Go Man Go’. Trompe le Monde will be available on sky blue vinyl and include a 7” with the songs ‘Brackish Boy’ and ‘Punk Loop’.

Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde were both remastered by Kevin Vanbergen who has been working through the band’s tape archive to create new Dolby Atmos mixes as well as high-res masters of the band’s catalogue, including both their Live at The BBC and Complete B-Sides compilations (the latter due out on 26th June).

Side A of the Bossanova 7” is a Steve Albini recording of ‘Dig For Fire’ recorded in late 1987 during the sessions for Surfer Rosa, and sounding far removed from the version they released almost 3 years later. Side B is ‘Go Man Go’, a once near-mythical Black Francis and Kim Deal co-write that was recorded by both Pixies and The Breeders during the album sessions for Bossanova and Last Splash respectively but failed to make the cut for either. Outside of appearing on a bootleg tape of Breeders demos and them airing it a few times live at the time, the song faded from view until 2023 when, upon discovering the lost master for it, The Breeders included their version on their 30th anniversary reissue of Last Splash.
