Pixies have announced brand-new studio album ‘The Night the Zombies Came’, due out on 25 October 2024 via BMG.
The full-length will be the American alternative rockers tenth album to date – if you count their classic 1987 4AD mini–LP ‘Come On Pilgrim’ – and first new music since 2022s acclaimed ‘Doggerel’ LP.
In addition, the band have shared new track ‘Chicken’ – WATCH THE OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO HERE:

Pixies have also welcomed new bass player Emma Richardson (Band Of Skulls) to the line-up; the first British band member to join the group.
