Before being chosen for Frank Black’s debut solo album, “Brackish Boy” was one of the final songs recorded by the Pixies as a demo on the Trompe le Monde session. It was never releaed by the band, although a tiny clip of it survives online:
Like “Crackity Jones”, this is also based on a roomate Bla...
This man he was a Mexican, oh yeah
Adopted into Norwegian, oh yeah
Turned into American, oh yeah
But he felt a Mexican, oh yeah
Down Mexico way
He had to learn Spanish, oh yeah
He was a walking fish, oh yeah
He was feeling so brackish
Between Norwegian and English
He decided it was time to go
To find the people that he did not know
But the road to Mexico, oh yeah
It sure go fast but it should go slow, oh yeah
It's a dangerous road, oh
By now you know that he was fucked
By now you know he had no luck
He was smashed head on by a giant truck
Down Mexico way
Brackish Boy was written by Frank Black.
Brackish Boy was produced by Eric Drew Feldman & Frank Black.
Frank Black released Brackish Boy on Mon Mar 08 1993.
From an anti.matter.com article, 1993:
That’s a couple of years old. It’s like, who knows? There might be half a chord change on something that I’ve been playing since I was 15.
