The post Pixies Tease New Album “Doggerel”, Share Lead Single and Release Date appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>According to the band’s vocalist/guitarist Black Francis, this album will see them take their music in a new direction and create something bigger and bolder.
“We’re trying to do things that are very big and bold and orchestrated. The punky stuff, I really like playing it but you just cannot artificially create that s—t. There’s another way to do this, there’s other things we can do with this extra special energy that we’re encountering,” said Francis.
Guitarist Joey Santiago echoed his statement, saying this album will show the band’s growth because it features more conventional arrangements without under-two-minute songs.
Doggerel will be released on September 30 via BMG. It follows the release of the band’s stand-alone singles “Hear Me Out” and “Human Crime”, but they’re not expected to be featured on the album. Doggerel will feature a total of 12 tracks, including the recently released lead single “There’s a Moon On”.

]]>Beneath The Eyrie Demos: Part 1 was officially made available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify and YouTube. The tracks on the release are: “The Good Works Of Cyrus,” “Please Don’t Go” and “Chapel Hill.” Hear them below.
Considering that the name of the EP contains the “Part 1” label, we should probably get several more of these with more unreleased stuff from Beneath The Eyrie sessions. The album, which was the band’s seventh, was recorded at one New York church converted into a music studio. This influenced both the sound of the record and the writing process according to frontman Black Francis.
The LP ended up receiving positive reviews from the critics, being considered the band’s best work since they reformed in 2004. It peaked at number six at the US Billboard 200, while cracking the top 10 in several European countries.
