Pixies to reunite for new album?




'It makes sense' says Black Francis

Ever since the Pixies reunited for a world tour in 2004, rumours have been flying about whether the band would record a new album.

In June 2004, the legendary alternative band released a new single, 'Bam Thwok', but a full-length album did not follow, despite the tremendous success of their world tour.

Frontman Black Francis told NME.COM this week that he has not ruled out the possibility that his band will reconvene to record a new album, which would be their first since 1991's 'Trompe Le Monde'.

"It's just a waiting game right now," Francis told NME.COM. "Whatever we do in the future is gonna have to be fresh.

"I have to see if the band as a whole wants to go into the recording studio for a new record," he added. "That makes sense on some level. For us, there's gotta be an angle. It can't be just playing our old songs over and over."

Francis is currently touring the world in support of his recent solo albums 'Svn Fngrs' and 'Bluefinger'.

Thats good the Pixies always chucked out some real barn burners. I'd like it if they do go into the studio and pickup where Trompe Le Monde left off. You simply can't go wrong with the four in this band.

I won't hold my breath...at least for anything good. Even the Breeders couldn't put out an album that grabbed me. If it does happen it will just be one of those boring "we're back!" records that demands attention without merit.

That would be nice, but I'm not expecting anything.
