Pixies will return on September 13th with a new album called Beneath the Eyrie. It’s the band’s seventh full-length to date and arrives three years after Head Carrier.
The 12-track LP was produced by Tom Dalgety and recorded last December at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, NY. The album’s title is a reference to an eagles nest outside their recording studio.
On Beneath the Eyrie, “tales of witches, Daniel Boone, misfits and other characters fit utterly into the band’s inherent weirdness,” according to a press release.
The band is documenting the recording process via a 12-episode podcast titled “It’s a Pixies Podcast,” which premieres June 27th.
In the meantime, take a listen to the lead track, “On Graveyard Hill”:
Pixies will tour extensively in support of the album. Thus far, their only confirmed US date is at The Cure’s Daydream Festival in Pasadena, CA on August 13th, though a press release promises further dates shortly.
