100% when I first heard First Love/Late Spring, that bass and those bells instantly reminded me of a Pixies song. And then that guitar riff so much!
The Pixies are one of my favorite bands and Mitski is my number one favorite artist, so I was so happy to hear it. I can’t put my finger exactly on what pixie song it reminds me of the most, but I have it next to I Bleed(pixies) on my “Songs that All Sound Like This” playlist on Spotify lol. I’m slowly curating songs that give me the same vibes. For example, Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish is sooooooo Carry Me Out by Mitski, and that’s why I like that Billie Eilish song so much lol
More Mitski songs that I can hear the Pixies in are A Pearl( starts at 1:10) and I also can’t quite put my finger on what pixies song, but that one reminds me the most of Caribou, which is my favorite Pixies song.
ALSO Her by Poppy is so good to me because it sounds so Pixies to me too lol, listen to River Euphrates!
omg im gooped. i hear the Surfer Rosa/Doolittle era influence. im a big pixies fan too but i've never listened to mitski and i think you just convinced me. ty <3
to me the tame impala hits you over the head, which hes acknowledged that hes a fan of and i love that genre. like neo-pscyhadelia, singer/producer type stuff, i cant get enough of it, give me all the stoner music. he's talked about pink floyd, electric light orchesta, the beatles as stuff he loves to listen to. my guy just had a great taste in music and sits down and things come together. i dont mind that i hear influnces in music when its good.

It’s like how some of my favorite Mitski songs have Pixies-like guitar rifts.
Whatever he is doing with his music right now, is so sonically perfect to me.
Mitski collab when???
