Black Francis (young)
I think there is a distinction in Black Francis (young) AND Frank Black (old),
The pixies were a result of his early compositions which were like abstract poems and snippets made into songs, they were very raw and unrefined but that was the charm of the songs.
But as he got older, he started to change his perspective on music, this is why the pixies now can't recreate the spirit they once had, they're not the same ppl they were.
Now ofc the pixies is not all his doing, Joey added alot to the pixies with his signature style of guitar playing which is loud and f*ckin awesome.. it's as twisted as Francis lyrics and his solos instead of overshadowing the vocals with technical prowess, merge with the vocals to serve the concept of the song better.
And ofc Kim deal brought the melody, Kim has a great sense of melody that added a sweet touch to the pixies, a feminine touch they lacked.
