The Pixies reveal a new single ‘Bagboy’ their first new music in nine years

Just two weeks after Kim Deal announced she was leaving the band, The Pixies have released their first new piece of music for nine years with a new single “Bagboy.” You can download it and watch the video directed by LAMAR+NIK below!

The band’s frontman, Black Francis said this:

“The lyrics, coincidentally, were composed at a Starbucks Coffee in Harvard Square in Cambridge, about a hundred feet from where, 25 years ago, I composed some of the lyrics to an old Pixies song called ‘Break My Body.’ Twenty-five years later, some Starbucks in Harvard Square…I thought that was kind of interesting. The music for the song has been around for a few years. There are some demos I made with Joey and David a few years ago in Los Angeles, related to a film idea that still has yet to see the light of day, although work on the music continued. So a lot of the musical idea had been kicking around for awhile. It’s pretty simple, kind of a blues-based, two-note kind of thing, really.”
