About Pixies
While Pixies have been
acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock
movement, having blazed the trail for artists from Nirvana to Radiohead to
Pearl Jam, today, a whole new generation of music fans is discovering the
band’s iconic “loudquietloud” signature sound. After five
genre-defining studio albums — including the now-Platinum-certified Doolittle–
Pixies disbanded in 1993, and then launched their reunion tour in April 2004,
playing to sell-out crowds across the globe for 15 years, a far longer period
of time than they were a band originally. But writing, recording and releasing
new music was something that the band had been wanting to do for a long time,
so they secretly booked studio time in Wales for the fall of 2012. Six days
into the recording, founding bassist Kim Deal decided to leave the band; Black
Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering made the decision to carry on,
finishing and releasing the band’s first studio album in more than two decades,
2014’s Indie Cindy. Also wanting to play live, the three began working with a number
of touring bassists, including former A Perfect Circle bassist, Paz Lenchantin
who came out on the road with the band in 2014. The band welcomed her as
Pixies’ permanent bassist in 2016.
Also, in 2016, Pixies released
its second post-reunion studio album, Head Carrier which was also
Lenchantin’s recording debut with the band. As the UK’s DIY put it,
“They’re back. They’re still brilliant. God save the Pixies.”
December 2018 saw the band holed up at
Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY with producer Tom Dalgety where they
recorded their second album as a unit, “Beneath the Eyrie” out on
September 13, 2019.
