Pixies to record new studio album!

from NME.com :

Reformed alt-rock legends PIXIES are planning to record their first album in 14 years.

The band’s frontman Black Francis has confirmed the band, who got back together last year to huge acclaim, are preparing to make their first studio album since 1991’s ’Trompe Le Monde’.

He told The Sun: “It's all hugs and kisses, I'm pleased to report.

"We have been discussing recording a new album lately. As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not."

He added: "We would be satisfied if it played like our other records, never chart-topping but always in print."

Since the band got back together they have recorded two songs - ’Bam Thwok’ - which was rejected for the ’Shrek 2’ soundtrack and then released as a download-only single, and a cover of Warren Zevon’s ’Ain’t That Pretty At All’, which appeared on ’Enjoy Every Sandwich’, a tribute album to the late singer. -NME

I have every Frank Black solo record and they are great and I think he is incredibly underrated as an artist. Hopefully he will write most or all of the material on the new Pixies record and it will sell well because he deserves it. Pick up his first solo album if you get a chance.

i'm excited about this but a little unsure, too. are frank and kim in the same creative place that they were when all the great pixies records were made? does it matter? does touring for the past couple of years bring back enough of that vibe and energy to get the four of them to squeeze out one more great pixies album? it'll be interesting to hear the end result.

Yeah, for real. I was expecting great things from that last Breeders album, but I was just left wondering, where the fuck is that iguana?
