The legendary Boston band released their last album, ‘Head Carrier’, in 2016. In a four-star review, NME said: “You’ll struggle to find a better collection of indie rock songs this year. The reunion of the century keeps on kicking.”
Now, it has been announced that the group will release a new record this September – with the news being revealed in a teaser for a 12-part weekly podcast.
Hosted by music journalist Tony Fletcher, ‘Past is Prologue’ will delve into the making of the upcoming LP, which was written across 2018 and recorded in New York last December. The series will begin June 27, leading up to the album’s arrival.

The new teaser video for the upcoming show begins with old VHS footage of Pixies gigs, as a voiceover says: “Imagine that fourteen years after returning to the scene, you’re back in the studio recording a new album to build on your legacy and take your place at the forefront of the genre that YOU created.
“Imagine that you’re a member… of the Pixies.”
