Pixies ProfileThe legendary Pixies have made their long-awaited comeback with their first album in more than 20 years, Indie Cindy, but – gentlemen that they are – they're not going to leave you to navigate the journey alone.
Rather, the esteemed alt-rock luminaries have taken the time to deconstruct the new record, track by track, with a little help from YouTube.
From What Goes Boom's reggae influences (“To me, it's like me doing my very subtle impersonation of Eddy Grant”, frontman Black Francis explains), and the “groove breakdown” of Greens and Blues, to ruminations on former bassist Kim Deal and Blue Eyed Hexe owing its tone to the cowbell lust of drummer David Lovering, the insightful 18-minute Indie Cindy video takes fans through the ins and outs of the Pixies' creative processes, providing a unique look at the way the music icons operate as they near their 30th anniversary as a band.
Indie Cindy is out now.
Watch the full track-by-track breakdown with Black Francis, David Lovering and guitarist Joey Santiago below:
