Pixies have announced their tenth studio album,
'The Night the Zombies Came'. Set for release on 25th October via BMG, the new record marks the band's first release since 2022's '
Doggerel' and features 13 new tracks.
Songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Black Francis describes the album as cinematic, saying, "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."
The album's themes range from Druidism and apocalyptic shopping malls to mediaeval-themed restaurants and 12th-century poetic forms. The band have also released a new song,
'Chicken'.
