Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally released as the opening track of their landmark 1989 album, 'Debaser' received an official UK single release in the late 90s to capitalize on the band's monumental retroactive influence. Driven by Kim Deal's propulsive bassline and Black Francis's unhinged, screaming vocal delivery, the song directly references the surrealist Luis Bu帽uel film 'Un Chien Andalou'. Its manic energy and loud-quiet dynamics laid the foundational blueprint for the 1990s alternative rock explosion.
