No. 13 Baby by Pixies (1989)

In the money for greatest rock band to ever do it, the Pixies have long been absolute masters of the instrumental section. The outro of this Doolittle gem could be the best among them.

Frank Black once said "the outro (of No. 13 Baby) is a good example of us finding some good notes, just a few notes, that worked well together and occasionally tugged against each other in a slightly dissonant kind of way… That illustrates the skeletal sound of the Pixies very well. It’s mind-numbingly simple to play, at least my part is. Joey’s part is pretty simple too. But that’s what we’re about. Simple parts, in a surfy kind of way. Do what you can with a few notes. Don’t be ashamed. Stand tall.” Simply perfect.

Outro begins at 2:01
