July 24 — Pixies will tentatively release its new album this fall.
The band announced Wednesday, it is scheduled to release its new album, The Night The Zombies Came Oct. 24 through BMG. In anticipation of its release, the band has unveiled the record’s second single in the form of ‘Chicken.’ The band premiered the record’s lead single, ‘You’re So Impatient’/’Que Sera Sera,’ last month.
The musical arrangement featured in ‘Chickens’ is sort of a dreamy type of composition. There is a certain sort of folk rock leaning to the arrangement, which is really grounded in its rhythm section.
In regard to its lyrical theme, the song comes across as an allegory of sorts about someone who keeps getting caught in difficult situations. That would explain the decidedly melancholy mood set through the arrangement. This is all this critic’s own interpretation.
In other news, Pixies is in the midst of a global tour, which kicked off June 8 in Toronto, ON. The tour’s current schedule is noted below:
