Music Tuesday #013: I bet you didn't expect this
Off course I still remember my first mosh pit experience (10 points if you can find me in this video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrU_L8m0SDk).
The Pixies were at their height of fame and I was young enough still to know no limits. The Pixies were known for their quiet-loud dynamics and their mix of punk rock and surf music. I hear that same vibe in the song of today.

A couple of years later lo fi music bands like Sebadoh (their debut Bubble & Scrape really blew my mind) were a serious part of my life. The lo fi sound communicated a feeling I could definitely relate to. It stuck ever since.
Imagine my surprise when last night I came across LaLa LaLa. Her new album The Lamb got a casual play last night and the first song Destroyer immediately threw me back a good 25 years. A bit of Pixies, a hint of lo fi and still sounding modern... I'm digging it. So here it is:

Just for fun: Kim Deal with her sister formed The Breeders even before joining the Pixies. In the 90s this song made it to the top of many charts. That wouldn't be possible anymore.
