Pixies

In June 2014, when the Pixies took the stage at Field Day in London, they were riding a significant wave of resurgence following their 2014 album, *Indie Cindy*. This marked their first full-length release in over two decades, after a long hiatus that began in 1993. The release felt like a major cultural event, especially given how influential their earlier works like *Doolittle* and *Surfer Rosa* had been in shaping alternative rock. "Debaser," the standout track they performed that day, has a rich history itself, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2014. It's fascinating how this song, embedded with surrealist imagery and an unmistakable energy, became a go-to anthem for fans, connecting generations of listeners. The live performance not only reignited the band’s loyalty among old fans but also introduced their unique sound to a new audience, proving their relevance even 25 years later. How incredible it is that music can transcend time like that, don’t you think?
