Description

Come On Pilgrim is the debut mini-LP release by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in September 1987 by 4AD.

Come On Pilgrim showcased much of the Pixies' variety and set up the beginnings of many trends in their music. It includes two songs partly sung in Spanish (Vamos and Isla de Encanta) which drew upon some of Francis's expe­riences in Puerto Rico (Isla de Encanta is an alteration of the island's nickname, Isla del Encanto meaning Isle of Enchantment). Two songs explicitly mention incest—Nimrod's Son and The Holiday Song. I've Been Tired refers metaphorically to sex and rock & roll culture, and there are four songs with overt religious references or language (Caribou, Nimrod's Son, The Holiday Song and Levitate Me). Beyond lyrical trends, Come On Pilgrim displayed Joey Santiago's in­novative guitar leads, Deal's sunny vocal harmonies, and Francis's vocal range, which varied from screaming to traditionally-sung melodies. A version of the song Vamos would appear on Pixies' next two releases: re-recorded with Steve Albini for their first full-length album, Surfer Rosa, and as a live B-side on their first single, Gigantic.
