New Song Arrives From Pixie Dust
Though The Pixies have been on the road for most of the spring, the
group did find time to record new music and quietly put it out to the
public. The reunited rockers wrote and recorded "Bam Thwok," their
first new single in thirteen years. Kim Deal sings lead on the track,
now available at iTunes for .99. The band recorded the track in March
while rehearsing for their first massive reunion trek. Deal says the
song started from an old art book she found discarded on a city street
years ago. "From the handwriting, you could tell that this book must
have belonged to a little kid. This kid had written a short story, a
paragraph really, about a party that took place in another universe,
about people and monsters that were partying together. That's what
provided the inspiration for the lyrics," explained Deal. The track
also features an organ solo performed by Joey Santiago's father many
years ago. The group plans to work the song into their sets during
upcoming U.S. and European dates.
From Tuesday's MTV Radio/"The Morning Facts" for Alt/Rock:
NEW PIXIES SONG. The Pixies have recorded a new song, "Bam Thwok," their
first original track in 13 years. The song is being released exclusively
through Apple's iTunes Music Store starting Tuesday at midnight. The song
features Kim Deal singing lyrics from a discarded children's art book she
found on the street many years ago: "Bosses in offices on automatic drip/
They got the keys to the city/ But we got a lotta shaking in our hips." The
Pixies recorded "Bam Thwok" in Los Angeles in March while the band was
practicing for its recent reunion tour.
