Thanks velvety, that makes perfect sense.

Can't hear it clearly but my guess would be:

I know you are at war
McDutchie Posted - 06/27/2014 : 17:08:10
Anyone know what the first line of the second verse says? It is something like:

I know you are ???
But if you need some love
Be my soldier lover
And I'll be your peaceful dove

"Women of War" is lightweight and frivolous and kinda silly. And that's why I like it.
billgoodman Posted - 04/22/2014 : 20:21:21
Yes, better than those songs.

Seems properly rated to me, as an enjoyable song, by most here. Not a throwaway in my eyes at all. Already I prefer it to Snakes/Another Toe/Ring the Bell/Silver Snail/Greens and Blues.

I love the guitar work by both Joey and Charles.Paz bass lines shine too on the track.David is his rocking self as usual.

I'm strangely glad this download, and things like the Greens and Blues video, do not get their own email blasts from pixiesmusic.com. These are genuine surprises. And it's great. At this rate, could the next LP be less than a year away?

The continous howling guitar from Joey on verses reminds me of Break My Body

I like the sound of Dave's snare too:)
The song is fun, more uptempo than most on the album
The vocals are a bit cheeky and FBesque,
The song does really stick in your head ("all the requirements" has a great scansion, and "I'll be your peaceful dove" is an amusing image)
But I still prefer the Pixies when the songwriting is more ambitious, less direct, and the production a bit more sophisticated (though not too much)

Yes, indeed. My guess is that they were both recorded live for the basics (bass, drums, two guitars).

It does stick in your head. "He gave you conditions..." is on a loop in mine. Solid tune, and the loose feel of it is heartening. More please.

it's good, and a bit silly, and very good.

AND it's the first new pixies new song that keeps playing in my head after i stop listening to it.
It's so cool they didnt include that in the EP's, so now they can start something good.
Grotesque Posted - 04/21/2014 : 22:53:39
Wow I like that, it's the first new pixies song that I want to listen again and again.
The sound is not very clear but the spirit is good.
It's not super ambitious (a little indy pop song a bit like Velvety) but it sounds like something, AT LAST !!!!

It sounds like a Grand Duchy (totally) outtake.

Sounds more like a random FB tune, with a -big- touch of Santiago epicness in the background.

edit: it also sound less compressed than previous tracks, which is quite pleasant !

My favorite of the new songs so far. And I loved all of the EPs.

Nice. Paz has a funny voice. Very Frank Black-ish song. Sounds like Toty.
