Pixies share previously unreleased "Velouria" video


Pixies shared a previously unreleased alternate video version of "Velouria."

The alternate video was shot at the same location as the original version, but instead of the band climbing through the boulders in slow motion, the alternate version features the band and some killer choreography.

The "Velouria" video unleashing comes on the heels of the 30th anniversary of Bossanova, Pixies' third studio album. The album was issued August 13th, 1990 and featured the singles "Velouria," "Allison," and "Dig For Fire," along with classic album tracks "Stormy Weather," "Cecilia Ann," "Havalina," and more.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary 4AD is releasing a a limited red vinyl edition this Friday, August 7th. The reissue includes the original 16 page booklet (previously only available with the initial UK LP pressing).

Head here to pre-order the Bossanova reissue and watch the previously unreleased video for "Velouria" and compare it to the original below.
