Pixies have shared their first music recorded with new bassist Emma Richardson (who replaced Paz Lenchantin in March). It’s a double A-side featuring new original “You’re So Impatient” (which sounds very Pixies) and a spooky cover of Doris Day’s hit “Que Sera Sera” from Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much that has been significantly altered with an all new melody.
’You’re So Impatient’ is a slightly comedic suburban culture moment: there’s this guy, there’s this gal, there’s this tug-of-love dynamic going on,” says Black Francis. “But the backdrop is the mall. And while the mall is crass, it’s also a very zombie, rock ‘n’ roll horror movie setting.”
Listen to both below.
Pixies are currently on their North American summer tour with Modest Mouse and Cat Power, which hits NYC at Forest Hills Stadium on June 15. They’ve also got UK/EU dates in July and August and will be in Australia and New Zealand this fall with Pearl Jam. All dates are listed below.
