Following their 2019 reunion, Pixies delivered Doggerel in 2022, solidifying that their return wasn't nostalgia but genuine artistic continuation. The album pushes further into new territory while maintaining the angular alt-rock intelligence that defines them. Black Francis's lyrics remain sharp and mysterious, complemented by the band's ability to build compelling arrangements from seemingly simple elements. Where many reunion albums feel like appendices, Doggerel feels like an actual chapter in the Pixies narrative. This limited edition documents a band remaining vital, curious, and unwilling to settle into easy answers or recycled glory.
