Doolittle is the second studio album from the American alternative rock band Pixies, released on 18 April 1989 by 4AD. The album's offbeat and dark subject material, featuring references to surrealism, biblical violence, torture and death, contrasts with the clean production sound achieved by the then-newly-hired producer Gil Norton. Doolittle was the Pixies' first international release, with Elektra Records acting as the album's distributor in the United States and PolyGram in Canada. Two tracks were released as singles: "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven". Doolittle has continued to sell consistently well in the years since its release, and in 1995 was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album has been cited as inspirational by many alternative artists, while numerous music publications have ranked it as one of the most influential albums ever. (more...)
