To be released on October 25th the revered alternative/indie band will release its 10th proper full-length album, “The Night The Zombies Came”. For the new album recording sessions, the band returned to work with producer Tom Dalgety, who drummer David Lovering refers to as “a fifth Pixie” after producing 2016’s “Head Carrier”, 2019’s “Beneath the Eyrie” and 2022’s “Doggerel”.
Early on in the recording process at Guilford Sound studio in Vermont, the band noticed the new songs were dividing into two camps: what they came to call the “Dust Bowl Songs” – country-tinged, balladesque numbers such as ‘Primrose’ and ‘Mercy Me,’ and on the other side, the album’s furious punk numbers such as ‘You’re So Impatient’ and ‘Oyster Beds.’ Only ‘Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)’ keeps its feet in both camps — reminiscent of early ‘60s Phil Spector, the band hitting the sweet spot between mushy and abrasive, it’s a track that Black Francis allegedly likened to being chased by a swarm of bees.
The band’s first record since 2022’s “Doggerel” and the first with new bassist Emma Richardson (Band of Skulls) in the mix.
