Pixies have announced a new album called The night the zombies cameIt is scheduled for release on Halloween (October 25th, to be exact) via BMG.
As its title and release date suggest, the Pixies’ new album is at least partially inspired by this spooky season. Among the “disparate wonders” that make up the 13-track LP are “druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, medieval-themed restaurants, 12th-century poetic form, surf rock, gargoyles, swamp people, and Fleetwood Mac’s signature dry drum sound from the 1970s,” according to a press release.
Meanwhile, on the newly released single “Chicken,” frontman Black Francis “personifies poultry, dealing with decapitation and feeling like a zombie movie actor.” Watch the lyric video for “Chicken” below. Pixies previously teased the album with the release of lead single “You're So Impatient.”
The night the zombies came It also marks the first Pixies album recorded with new bassist Emma Richardson, ex-Band of Skulls, who replaced Paz Lenchantin earlier this year.
Along with a new Pixies album, Black Francis, aka Frank Black, recently announced a 2025 North American tour to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his second solo album, Teen of the Year. Tickets are available for purchase here
