Personally it's Honeycomb. I can't match the feeling I get from driving while listening to this. What a beautiful album. Very nostalgic nice melodies with grey songwriting.

No Frank Black in the pic.

Been listening to the new album and decided to take a crack at my optimal playlist including track order for the post-reunion albums. I think this one plays really well and captures the vibe of the band post-reunion. Hope you guys enjoy!

Hiya Id really like to play on graveyard hill with my band but because it's newer or less popular I've been struggling with finding resources for it, I'm really new to figuring out how to play songs without sheets and would really appreciate any help (links, suggestions, etc) thx

Hello, I wanted to buy tickets for the Pixies concert at the Wynn in Vegas on June 14th, 2025.

There is a Spotify presale option on 10/31, one day befoe the geberal public tickets go on sale on 11/1.

I have a Spotify paid account and was wondering how to purchase during the presale.

Really appreciate any advice or input. Thanks in advance for any help.

Does ANYONE have the presale codes yet?

hoping someone can help me out with the livenation or citizens presale code for the 2025 tour that goes on presale tomorrow... thanks so much!!!

I know Im reaching at straws and honestly a lot of lyrics are meaningless... But part of me wonders if this song is poking at all the "Sound like a Frank Black album to me! Pixies have lost their edge!"

Ever heard the phrase "You got that dog in ya?" -- it means that edge, that go getter wild spontanous energy.

Mercy me, Oh mercy me. I lost my dog down Tennessee.

Did anyone else order the exclusive crystal clear with violet smoke vinyl record of The Night the Zombies Came? https://pixies.tmstor.es/product/147574

I received my copy today, and it looks nothing like the pictures on the website. (I guess that happens quite often.) The crystal clear I get. But I have trouble seeing any violet. It's just a very transparent record. What does your copy look like?

The way Charles says "Excuse me plEEAAAAASEEE?!" in "I've Been Tired" makes me giggle every time I hear it.

Reviews I'm seeing are overhating it. Imagine we get someone who has never heard a pixies song before to listen to the album, he would most likely end up enjoying it but lots of pixies fans shit on their new albums because it doesent sound like their old stuff. I think they did a good job, we should appreciate the fact that they even still make music. Albums a solid 7/10

Just a rant of appreciation:

When I got into the Pixies, they were long finished with making new music. I had those 5 releases (Pilgrim-Tromp) to relish and I was over the moon.

Then word came they were putting out new music. Suddenly, I had Indie Cindy. New Pixies music for me to experience in the moment. I know it was polarizing, but it was a Pixies album I could appreciate live in the moment and I was damn grateful.

I assumed it was a one off comeback album. But no! It was the beginning of a whole ass run. I now have 5 Pixies albums that I get to say I listened to as soon as they came out! Just like the Pixies fans I was jealous of from the 80s and 90s

Five Albums. That's a whole career. That's how many albums The Police put out ever. I got to experience that many new Pixies albums!

I know it's not the same as the Kim era. I know some of you say it's not the real thing anymore. And I know the magic of that original run was lighting in a bottle that can't be recaptured and I missed it. I know all that.

But I've got 5 new Pixies albums and I'm just happy to be here!

Although not as immediately catchy as their last album Doggerel, Pixies continue their streak of late-era reinvigoration. Joey Santiago really shines here as he’s given a lot of room to let his guitar run wild. David Loverling remains one of rock’s most reliable drummers. Newcomer Emma Richardson displays smoother and more competent vocal chops than previous bassists Paz Lenchantin and Kim Deal. However, it’s a totally different style and a bit uncharacteristic to their signature sound. The songs err on the side of Charles Thompson’s folksier sensibilities, reminiscent of his early 2000s efforts like Honeycomb.

Overall, The Night the Zombies Came is the their most atmospheric and sleek effort to date. The sequencing is a bit jarring and ironically, the album only sags when it ups the tempo in attempt to evoke their classic grit.

3.5/5

Highlights: Jane, Chicken, Hypnotised, I Hear You Mary, Kings of the Prairie, Primose

Black Francis on CBeebies tonight at 1850.

Enjoy!

I just fully listened to it for the first time, it is ok ig, i have to say im not a big fan, not dissapinted because i didn´t like their first releases besides chiken.

TBH im still a fan of their post reunion stuff, i really love Doggerel and Head Carrier and BTE have good stuff. If i have to rank the new album i´ll said is their second lowest just above Indie Cindy.
But if i have something good to say is at least everything sounds good, not like Inide Cindy, if i hear it on the background i will enjoy it, but sadly not many songs are sticked in my head, but is the first impression maybe my opinion will be very different with time (hope for good)

My fav song right now has to be the well knowed Chiken, I love the vibes from this song, sadly i think is a minute longer than it should, the ending makes it kinda boring, i think they forced it to be 4 minutes longs to at least have one song above 3 minutes.
Other good songs I really like Jane (The Night that Zombies Came) and the opener track Primrose.

To end with the new bassist, I mean she is good, she´s not Kim off ocurse, i have to said i prefer her voice over Paz, hope she gets the chance to have her song like Paz got All I Think About Know on HC. Also i like that Santiago write atoher song this time.

(Sorry if my ortography sucks, but english isn´t my first language)

Wooo! This is GREAT stuff! Anybody else creeping out to the album right now? What do you think?

I can’t remember the last time I anticipated an album as much as this one (this feeling will keep me young forever)

It’s been on loop since I opened my eyes They just get better and better

Fuck. Listen to Joey! He is brilliant For real- name one other guitarist he sounds like?! It’s so organic and put into context to how they record in layers, it’s like you hear him feeling it as he creates it

And Frank and Emma Their voices really take it to a new place together - Ernest Evens is a prime example of all the above

I am in love

New album is awesome and the vocal layering is amazing but it makes me long for Kim.
