Pixies

On September 4, 2019, the Pixies graced WFUV Studio A with a live performance of “Death Horizon,” a track from their album *Beneath the Eyrie*, which was released just a few days earlier on September 13, 2019. This marked an intriguing moment in their career, as it was part of a creative resurgence after their initial breakup in the 1990s and subsequent reunion. The album itself showcases a thematic exploration of darker, more introspective motifs, reflecting a maturation of their sound. Interestingly, *Beneath the Eyrie* was recorded in a haunted church in Upstate New York, adding a layer of mystique to their already enigmatic aura. The performance at WFUV, noted for its warm, intimate vibe, also highlights how the Pixies have managed to retain their original edge while weaving in new, thoughtful narratives—perfectly embodied in the hauntingly beautiful “Death Horizon.” The live setting also serves as a testament to their enduring connection with fans and their ever-evolving artistic journey.
