2. Trompe le Monde would be the Pixies final album together. Released in September right at the start of Nirvanamania (on a song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", that Kurt Cobain admitted was a ripoff of the Pixies), the band would break up within months amid feuding between Kim Deal and Black Francis.

3. Oct 03,  · 7 Palace of the Brine The Pixies' swan song, Trompe Le Monde, remains their weakest album. Even a slightly weaker Pixies album, though, is a strong release relative to a weaker artist's, and Trompe Le Monde contains many of the band's finest songs, from Planet of Sound to Motorway to Roswell. /5(60).

5. General CommentThis song is about the Great Salt Lake and probably also refers to the Saltair Resort, aka the Saltair Palace (thus the "Palace of the Brine").There have been three incarnations of the building, and that might explain the line "I saw the cloning, of the famous family". And of course "In the shrine of the sea monkey" refers to the brine shrimp that live in the lake.4/5(3).

Jun 29,  · Though Trompe le Monde doesn’t sound quite like the Pixies’ other work, Come on Pilgrim’s spooky beginnings, Surfer Rosa’s abrasive assault, Doolittle’s deceptively accessible punk-pop, and Bossanova’s spacy sonics helped make Trompe le Monde a rousing swan song and a precursor to alternative rock’s imminent success.
