"Amazingly, the Pixies’ 1987 debut EP, Come on Pilgrim, was compiled
from the quickly, inexpensively made demo tape - paid for by Black Francis’ dad
- the band made at Boston’s legendary Fort Apache studio soon after they formed.
4AD was so taken with the tape that they released eight of the songs as this
mini-album. It’s easy to see why they were so impressed: The Pixies’ essential
sound - Francis’ unearthly shriek of a voice, David Lovering’s propulsive
drumming, Joey Santiago’s insistent, prickly guitar playing, and Kim Deal’s
sugar-and-sandpaper vocals and steady bass lines - arrives fully formed like the
bouncy, yet twisted, surfer-girl ode ‘Ed Is Dead.’" - All Music Guide
