Pixies announce forthcoming album, The Night The Zombies Came
Pixies have announced their tenth studio album, The Night the Zombies Came, alongside the lead single "Chickens".
The Night the Zombies Came is officially theirtenth album, if you count their classic 1987 4AD mini LP Come On Pilgrim, and is the first new music since 2022’s acclaimed Doggerel LP. The Night the Zombies Came will also include "You’re So Impatient", the brand new single with AA-side "Que Sera, Sera".
Songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Black Francis explains: “Fragments that are related and juxtaposed with other fragments in other songs. And in a collection of songs in a so-called LP, you end up making a kind of movie.”
For the new album recording sessions the band returned to work with producer Tom Dalgety, who drummer David Lovering refers to as “a fifth Pixie” after producing 2016’s Head Carrier, 2019’s Beneath the Eyrie and 2022’s Doggerel.
Early on in the recording process at Guilford Sound studio in Vermont, the band noticed the new songs were dividing into two camps: what they came to call the “Dust Bowl Songs” - country-tinged, ballad-esque numbers such as "Primrose' and "Mercy Me", and on the other side, the album’s furious punk numbers such as "You’re So Impatient" and "Oyster Beds".
