The Pixies dropped the kindest of surprises on fans earlier this week with the unveiling of EP-1, the first set among a planned 15-month series to roll out between now and the end of 2014.
“If we’re going to keep touring like this, we need some kind of new story, a new life, something,” frontman Frank Black told The New York Times, and this is certainly one way to embark on a new adventure. With the abrupt departure of bassist Kim Deal during initial recording sessions (she has since been replaced), the band know they have something to prove. Check out a promo for the release below, which includes new Pixies music.
