Pixies will continue their 40th anniversary celebrations this fall with newly remastered editions of Bossanova and Trompe le Monde, both due out September 11 via 4AD.
The 2026 remasters will be released digitally, on CD, and on standard black vinyl, with two limited Dinked International Editions adding exclusive bonus 7-inches featuring four previously unreleased tracks from the band’s archives: “Dig For Fire (Albini Version),” “Go Man Go,” “Brackish Boy,” and “Punk Loop.”
The Dinked International Editions arrive as part of Dinked’s newly expanded international program, which includes 50 participating stores across the U.K., Ireland, and the U.S.
The Bossanova Dinked edition will be pressed on oxblood vinyl and comes with a 16-page, 10-inch replica of the original U.K. booklet, complete with its incorrect tracklisting. The package also includes a 7-inch featuring Steve Albini’s 1987 recording of “Dig For Fire” on the A-side and “Go Man Go” on the flip.
That Albini version of “Dig For Fire” was recorded during the late-1987 Surfer Rosa sessions, nearly three years before the song appeared in its familiar form on Bossanova. “Go Man Go,” meanwhile, is a long-rumored Black Francis and Kim Deal co-write that was recorded by both Pixies and The Breeders during the Bossanova and Last Splash eras, respectively. The Breeders’ version finally surfaced in 2023 as part of the 30th anniversary edition of Last Splash.
The Trompe le Monde Dinked edition will be released on sky blue vinyl and includes a bonus 7-inch featuring “Brackish Boy” and “Punk Loop.” “Brackish Boy” is better known from Frank Black’s 1993 self-titled solo debut, but this earlier Pixies version has been mastered directly from the album session tape with no post-production. “Punk Loop,” recorded during the 1991 Trompe le Monde sessions, is described as the strangest and least conventional of the unearthed tracks.
Both albums were remastered by Kevin Vanbergen, who has been working through the Pixies tape archive to create new Dolby Atmos mixes and high-resolution masters of the band’s catalog, including Live at the BBC and Complete B-Sides.
Pre-orders are available now through 4AD and Dinked International.
