Pixies announce new album 'The Day The Zombies Came'

Following on from the release of their much-loved 2022 LP 'Doggerel', Pixies have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'The Day The Zombies Came' will be their first since recruiting new bass player Emma Richardson, is being previewed by the lead single 'Chicken', and is set to be released on the 25th October via BMG.

Speaking about the new record, frontman Black Francis said, “Fragments that are related and juxtaposed with other fragments in other songs. And in a collection of songs in a so-called LP, you end up making a kind of movie.”

Have a listen to 'Chicken' in the player and see the album's full tracklisting below.

'The Day The Zombies Came' Tracklist:
Primrose
You're So Impatient
Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)
Chicken
