Pixies Releasing First Full Length Album In Over 20 Years
.
On Tuesday Pixies Releasing First Full Length Album In Over 20 Years was a top story. Here is the recap: The Pixies announced on Monday that they will be releasing their first full length album in over 20 years in April via their own independent music label Pixiesmusic.
The album will be titled "Indie Cindy" and will be released on April 29th in North America, April 23rd in Japan and April 28th in the UK, Europe and other international territories.
"Indie Cindy" will feature 12 songs including the eight tracks from the band's EP-1 and EP-2, three songs from EP-3 and "Bagboy," the band's first new song in more than a decade.
"We started seriously talking about recording new music about four years ago," said Pixies drummer David Lovering in the announcement. "New music seemed like something we just had to do, we just couldn't continue to go out and tour without anything new. So the talk evolved into writing and recording, and we're all very happy with the way everything worked out."
The album finds the band reuniting with producer Gil Norton who worked with the band on the Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde albums and was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, UK in October of 2012.
The album will be released in various formats including a standard 12-track single-CD digipak with booklet, a two-disc, deluxe gatefold album, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, a standard 12-track digital download via iTunes, Amazon, and other online retail sellers, plus an expanded digital download exclusively through iTunes that includes a bonus live-in-concert 13-track set recorded during the band's recently-completed North American tour.
The band will also be selling a special deluxe, limited edition two-disc set version (available as a CD and as a deluxe gatefold album pressed on 180-gram vinyl) that includes the 13-track live disc and a 40-page, hard-back book that features the new artwork produced exclusively for Indie Cindy. The CD limited edition is packaged in a special gold-foil hard slipcase and will be limited to 5000 copies and sold directly from the band's website.
The Pixies will also be celebrating this year's Record Store Day on April 19th with a special version of the album. The special RSD limited edition will be a two-disc, deluxe gatefold, 180-gram vinyl set that will be available only from independent record stores participating in Record Store Day around the world. -
Pixies sacan disco nuevo 23 años después
La banda de Boston volverá a sacar disco nuevo tras 23 años de espera después de que su último trabajo, Trompe le Monde, fuese sacado en 1991. El nuevo proyecto tendrá por nombre Indie Cindy, con fecha de salida el 29 de abril. El disco seguirá con el productor británico de sus últimos tres trabajos Gil Norton y el sello será Pixiesmusic. En unas palabras a la revista Rolling Stone, el batería Lovering declaró: “El disco era necesario. No podíamos salir más de gira sin tener un disco nuevo. Después de varios años, estamos muy contentos con el resultado”.El grupo se separó en 1993 y volvió a los escenarios tras una reunión en 2004. En los últimos años y tras varias desavenencias entre el cantante Francis y la carismática bajista Kim Deal, abandonó el grupo a finales de año pasado. Ésta fue reemplazada por Kim Shattuck durante unos meses. A día de hoy, la banda cuenta con el trío de siempre formado por Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Dave Lovering y a las cuatro cuerdas se ha unido recientemente la argentina Paz Lenchantin, bajista que ha trabajado en A Perfect Circle, Swans y Queens of the Stone Age.
El disco será presentado en directo en la edición del Lollapalooza de Chile y Argentina que se están celebrando estos días. En España sólo hay confirmada la fecha de 30 de mayo en su gira por Europa. Vendrán en esta edición del Primavera Sound formando cartel con Nine Inch Nails, Goodspeed you! Black Emperor, Television y Queens of the Stone Age entre otros.
El tracklist del disco es el siguiente:
1- What Goes Boom
2- Greens and Blues
