Finally…a new Pixies album!

2014Pixies_Press_040314

A mere 23 years since their last and fifth album Trompe Le Monde, The Pixies are going to release their sixth studio album on April 28. It’s entitled Indie Cindy.

Of course, how much of a studio album this is might depend on your own personal viewpoint. The album consists of the three Eps that the band have released over the last year, entitled EP1, EP2 and erm, EP3. It is, of course, worth bearing in mind that The Beta Band’s The 3 EPs was exactly that, and Japanese Whispers by The Cure was three singles and their attendant b-sides. The EPs have either been available as downloads or very limited copies from the band’s website, so this is the first time that they’ve been properly available.

The tracklisting is as follows:

1.What Goes Boom

2.Greens and Blues

3.Indie Cindy

4.Bagboy

5.Magdalena 318

6.Silver Snail

7.Blue Eyed Hexe

8.Ring the Bell

9.Another Toe in the Ocean

10.Andro Queen

11.Snakes

12.Jaime Bravo

There’s a whole variety of formats (and I fear that many of these will end up being flogged online for vastly inflated prices so act quickly!)

When these are gone, they’re gone.
