''Bossanova'' is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Pixies. It was released on August 13, 1990 by English independent record label 4AD in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States.

Surfer Rosa
''Surfer Rosa'' is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in March 1988 on the British label 4AD. It was produced by Steve Albini. ''Surfer Rosa'' contains many of the elements of Pixies' earlier output, including Spanish lyrics and references to Puerto Rico. It includes references to mutilation and voyeurism alongside experimental recording techniques and a distinctive drum sound. As 4AD was an independent label, distribution in the United States was handled by British label Rough Trade Records; however, it failed to chart in either country. Only one single was released, a rerecorded version of " Gigantic", and reached number 93 on the UK Singles Chart. ''Surfer Rosa'' was rereleased in the US by Elektra Records in 1992, and in 2005 was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. ''Surfer Rosa'' is often included on critics' lists of the best rock albums. Alternative rock artists including Billy Corgan and PJ Harvey hav ...
