THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Some 35 years since their groundbreaking, platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the U.K. Top Ten — and 20 years since their celebrated reformation — Pixies are deep into their second act, and in the midst of a creative purple patch.
The Night The Zombies Came is Pixies’ 10th album (if you count their classic 1987 mini-LP Come On Pilgrim) and first new music since 2022’s acclaimed Doggerel LP. It has 13 new songs that find the band — singer-guitarist Black Francis, lead guitarist Joey Santiago, drummer David Lovering and bassist Emma Richardson — delivering the most cinematic record of their career. Druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, mediaeval themed restaurants, 12th century poetic form, surf rock, gargoyles, bog people, and the distinctive dry drum sound of 1970s-era Fleetwood Mac are just some of the disparate wonders that inform the new songs.”
