Pixies - Where Is My Mind? Official Lyric Video from Surfer Rosa

Date: 1988

In January 1988, the Pixies were riding the wave of success with their debut studio album "Surfer Rosa," which had been released just a few months earlier, in March 1988. This album was pivotal in establishing their unique sound that fused punk rock, surf music, and alternative rock elements. "Where Is My Mind?" became one of their hallmark tracks, notable for its haunting melody and surreal lyrics. The song and the album both played crucial roles in influencing the alternative rock scene of the late '80s and early '90s. An interesting aspect of "Surfer Rosa" is that it was produced by Gil Norton and recorded at the prestigious Fort Apache Studios in Massachusetts, further enhancing its credibility in the indie rock world. The album also showcased the band's innovative approach to songwriting, characterized by dynamic shifts in tempo and intricate arrangements, distinguishing them from their contemporaries both before and after the release.
