Surfer Rosa established the Pixies as an essential indie rock band, and also established Albini's reputation as a highly innovative record producer.   Nirvana's Kurt Cobain frequently cited Surfer Rosa as one of his major musical influences.

Originally titled "Gigantic", this 1988 release was the Boston quartet's first full-length recording.   It established the Pixies almost instantly as an exciting and essential band on the national indie scene and a distinct place in the history of Punk.   Producer/Engineer Steve Albini created both a compulsive and hypnotic 'in your face' rush in the economy of each song, while still retaining the band's cryptic quirkiness.

Surfer Rosa has been re-mastered by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab from recently discovered, first-generation analog original master tapes.
