Surfer Blood covers The Pixies | Video | A.V. Undercover 2011 | The A.V. Club

When the young Floridians in Surfer Blood chose the Pixies classic “Gigantic” for A.V. Undercover, we assumed that one of them would just have to come up with a falsetto. Instead, they recruited their friend Sarah Baldwin—drummer for The Girls At Dawn—to take the lead. We hope you enjoy it, as you’re probably already enjoying Surfer Blood’s debut, Astro Coast.

Edit: So I was really excited about this because it’s The Pixies, and I love all things Kim, Frank, Tony and Dave (not so much Frank solo… it never really grabbed me), but the more I listen to this, the more I can’t stand it. The instrumentals rock. Great groove, great edge, but the vocals are rough man. They finally mellow out in the end. Maybe it’s the engineering, but I’m not a fan.
