PIXIES, one of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time, have just released their highly anticipated seventh studio album Beneath the Eyrie. Produced by GRAMMY-nominated Tom Dalgety (Ghost, Royal Blood, Pixies’ Head Carrier), the album boasts 12 new songs with tales of witches, Daniel Boone, misfits and other characters fitting utterly into the band’s inherent weirdness. Visceral, musically cinematic, otherworldly but strangely familiar and a bit unsettling – the album was preceded by stand out singles “On Graveyard Hill” and “Catfish Kate”.

Beneath The Eyrie is the band’s first release via new record label, Infectious/BMG, and is available in a wide variety of packages. Those formats include CD, CD Deluxe, Vinyl (Standard) and Vinyl (Coloured). See HERE for more details.

Beneath the Eyrie was written over the course of 2018 and recorded last December at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, NY with the current lineup of Black Francis/vocals, guitars; Joey Santiago/guitars; David Lovering/drums, and Paz Lenchantin/bass. While taking a break outside the studio – originally St. John’s Church built in 1896 – Lovering spotted an eagles nest – or “eyrie” – right above the studio in a tree. Hence the album’s title, Beneath the Eyrie.
