The Pixies 2009

Pixies release music video for new single, "Bagboy"

The Pixies have released a music video for their first single since 2004, “Bagboy.”

Of the song, frontman Black Francis said, “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.”

You can enjoy a free stream/download of the track below the video.
