Which alternative rock band recorded the song 'Where Is My Mind?'?

The story behind the answer

The alternative rock band Pixies recorded the song 'Where Is My Mind?'.

The song appears on the Pixies' 1988 debut studio album, 'Surfer Rosa'. Black Francis wrote it after an experience involving a scuba diver during a trip in the Caribbean. The song's surreal lyrics and quiet-loud structure became characteristic of the band's influential style.

'Where Is My Mind?' was not originally a major chart hit, but it gained a much wider audience after appearing during the closing sequence of the 1999 film 'Fight Club'. It has since been used in numerous films, television programmes and advertisements.

The track is sometimes incorrectly described as a single from 'Doolittle', the Pixies' 1989 album. It belongs to 'Surfer Rosa', which was produced by Steve Albini. The song's enduring popularity helped introduce new listeners to the Pixies long after their initial recordings.
