===After Surfer Rosa===

After their critically-acclaimed album, the band arrived in the UK to support Throwing Muses on a tour (beginning at the [[Mean Fiddler]] in [[London]]). The setlist included some new songs, such as "In Heaven", "Hey" and "Wild Honey Pie". These songs were recorded in a [[Peel session]] in July at the BBC. The band also made a second trip to the studios and chose "Dead", "Tame", "There Goes My Gun" and "Manta Ray" to be recorded. In total, the band recorded six Peel sessions and released an album, ''[[Pixies at the BBC]]'', with selected recorded tracks from those sesssions.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://aleceiffel.free.fr/sessions.html | title=Pixies Radio 1 Sessions | accessdate=2006-09-02}}</ref>.

Around this time, Pixies struck up a relationship with the British producer, [[Gil Norton]], who was to produce their later albums.
