The Pixies Surprise Fans With New EP, Video

posted in: Music News • Pop • Rock

Iconic indie rock group The Pixies have surprised fans worldwide with the release of a new EP entitled EP-1.

Hitting the net late on Monday night with absolutely zero advance promotion, EP-1 has arrived in time for The Pixies’ busy fall touring schedule. The EP contains four new tracks, none of which have been heard live before, and is available as a digital download and limited vinyl release through the band’s official webstore.

Included in the new material is “Indie Cindy,” a mid-tempo jam for which the band also released a video this morning. The clip tells the tale of a hookup gone incredibly awry, and in signature Pixies fashion the results a bit out there. You can view the video below.

EP-1 was recorded Rockfield Studios with Gil Norton, who previously helmed the band’s Dolittle and Bossanova LPs, before they split in the ’90s. No word yet as to future releases, though the marking of the EP as “1” is a good indicator that there will be more to come.

EP-1 Tracklist:
01. Andro Queen
02. Another Toe
03. Indie Cindy
04. What Goes Boom
