Just two weeks after Kim Deal announced she was leaving the band, The Pixies have released their first new piece of music for nine years with a new single “Bagboy.” You can download it and watch the video directed by LAMAR+NIK below!
The band’s frontman, Black Francis said this:
“The lyrics, coincidentally, were composed at a Starbucks Coffee in Harvard Square in Cambridge, about a hundred feet from where, 25 years ago, I composed some of the lyrics to an old Pixies song called ‘Break My Body.’ Twenty-five years later, some Starbucks in Harvard Square…I thought that was kind of interesting. The music for the song has been around for a few years. There are some demos I made with Joey and David a few years ago in Los Angeles, related to a film idea that still has yet to see the light of day, although work on the music continued. So a lot of the musical idea had been kicking around for awhile. It’s pretty simple, kind of a blues-based, two-note kind of thing, really.”
“Bagboy” was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales in October 2012 and produced by Gil Norton.
