    Damn as far as instrumentals go, you can really tell what surfer blood took away from Pixies as an influence. Love it :)

    Guys the instrumentation was solid, chill out and realize this is supposed to be fun. If the Pixies saw this they would appreciate it for what it is, a cover played by a group of admirers!!

    I was thinking this was a completely unnecessary cover through most of the video, but then my man lays down an extended solo at the end over that rockingest of grooves, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to keep nodding along. So it’s a like from me!

    That's how the pixies sound not perfect but intense resonance and just pure grunge minimalist song

  • @localfox1000
    @localfox1000 5 років тому +5

    this was a pretty good cover, better than the dislikes suggest. The dislikes tell me more about Pixies fans rather than the band itself.

    I wanted to hate this but I don't. Her vocals aren't quite strong enough but it's raw. The way it's meant to be that way.

      As someone who's covered this song specifically, I can confidently say you'd be surprised how hard it is to get the timing and tone on the vocals
      The pixies really make it seem easier than it is, much to their credit
