Seventh full-length album from the iconic alternative band. Sessions for the album took place at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, New York and unusually the band documented every minute of the process, which makes up a 12-part podcast.
“For me, music and performance are theatrical. Witches and ghosts were good enough for Shakespeare, so they’re good enough for me”. The artistic ethos of Frank Black, aka Black Francis and leader of the late Kurt Cobain’s favourite rock band Pixies for over thirty years, sheds some light on their new album. Beneath the Eyrie is the seventh studio album from the group and is a tribute to American gothic in all its dismal splendour; packed with references to Anglo-American folklore (St Nazaire, Daniel Boone, Silver Bullet) and surf and skate culture (Los Surfers Muertos, Long Rider). Pixies are on top form here with their signature bass riffs, Latino/surf sounds and acoustic guitars, especially in On Graveyard Hill, which is the showstopper of this legendary group’s comeback album. – Alexis Renaudat
