PIXIES TO MAKE FIRST ALBUM IN 14 YEARS



Reformed alt-rock legends PIXIES are planning to record their first album in 14 years.

The band’s frontman Black Francis has confirmed the band, who got back together last year to huge acclaim, are preparing to make their first studio album since 1991’s ’Trompe Le Monde’.

He told contactmusic: “It's all hugs and kisses, I'm pleased to report.

"We have been discussing recording a new album lately. As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not."

He added: "We would be satisfied if it played like our other records, never chart-topping but always in print."

Since the band got back together they have recorded two songs - ’Bam Thwok’ - which was rejected for the ’Shrek 2’ soundtrack and then released as a download-only single, and a cover of Warren Zevon’s ’Ain’t That Pretty At All’, which appeared on ’Enjoy Every Sandwich’, a tribute album to the late singer.

Pixies headline this year’s Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals between August 27 and 29.

Black Francis releases a new solo album under the name Frank Black next week (July 18). ’Honeycomb’ is the first record he’s done alone since 1996’s ’The Cult Of Ray’.

Oh my golly!!!!!!!
This is goimg to be amazing. I'm kinda scared they'll make a bad album but they're the Pixies so that probably wont be a problem.
I know I'm just rambling, but I'm in a state of shock.


I said "I wanna be a singer like Lou Reed"

Those quotes are recycled. There is nothing in that story that confirms that an album is definitely set to be recorded.

You know, I thought it might be NME sensationalising a few old quotes, as they do with most everything.

This seems like the same type of rumor-mill as publicity machine game that FB ran on the media before SMYT. He resurrects a piece of juicy Pixies related gossip and fans the flame a bit. It gets the band back in the news and every article eventually includes the only other newsworthy item attached to FB right now, he has a solo disc out in 3 days.

Its genius.

Taking into account that the NME's source is The Sun, I am now beginning to doubt the validity of this claim! Also, that BBC 6Music item specifies that 'record for the right reasons' quote. That is not a claim that they are going to record a new album!

"We have been discussing recording a new album lately. As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not.

New Pixies album
(Friday July 15, 2005 04:58 PM)


Pixies are to record a new album, Frank Black has confirmed.

The influential rock'n'roll heroes reformed last year and toured the globe to endless acclaim, some 12 years after splitting.

Frontman Francis has now released that relations in the group remain very positive and will probably result in the first new album by the Pixies since "Trompe Le Monde" in 1991.

He explained: "It's all hugs and kisses, I'm pleased to report. We have been discussing recording a new album lately.

"As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not."

He continued: "We would be satisfied if it played like our other records, never chart-topping but always in print."

Pixies headline the Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds at the end of June in the UK. Francis releases his latest solo album, "Honeycomb", on Monday.

See, he's made these commets several times, and over a long period. But there was a recent article someone posted-I think from Mojo, where he said no, they wer'nt going to. Which is confusing, because he has stated before that they would record eventually. They have written new material, apparently, though!!

Pixies, Rolling Stones Announce New Records

It’s been fourteen and eight years respectively, but both the Pixies and The Rolling Stones have confirmed that they have new material on the way. For the Pixies, the move heralds their first studio album since 1991’s ‘Trompe Le Monde’.


With their celebrated comeback still going swimmingly, the Pixies have announced that they’ll be returning to the studio for the first time since the brief sessions that resulted in 2004’s download-only single ‘Bam Thwok’.

During press interviews for his imminent solo record ‘Honeycomb’, frontman Frank Black confirmed to contactmusic that, while the band have experienced personal tensions in the past, "it's all hugs and kisses" after last year's reunion tour:

"We have been discussing a new album lately,” he explained. “As happy as we are with the success of the reunion tour, we really want to make a record for the right reasons, whether it is successful commercially or not."

Of the new material he says, "We would be satisfied if it played like our other records. Never chart-topping but always in print".

The band headline the Reading and Leeds Carling Weekender at the end of August (27-29).

Get in the studio while you're all still hugging and kissing! These articles do look like a bit of a PR tease but still encouraging. Sorry to not see "Tom Waits - Producer?" tagged onto any of these headlines, that would be a truely historical collaberation.

Thank you for setting it straight, Mr. Frog. Thank you. Some people on this thread (I don't mean to be offensive, Daisy Girl) seem a bit too deluded.
