Pixies are further promoting their latest extended play ‘EP-2‘ with an official video for ‘Magdalena‘ which can be viewed through the snapshot below.
‘EP-2‘ was made available exclusively on Pixies’ official website in various formats earlier this month, and also contains ‘Blue-Eyed Hexe‘, ‘Greens and Blues‘ and ‘Snakes‘. “Its lack of punch, grind or weirdness – indeed its very orthodoxy – is though oddly brave, a continuation of the experimental ethic that’s helped to blur their place on the Ye Olde Mappe of Musik,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“The same sentiment could apply just as broadly to closer ‘Snakes‘, its edges darker but in spirit still taking cues from more mainstream garage and 20th century college rock they once thumbed their noses at.”
“Neither are anything ground breaking, but that argument lacks perspective; had they set about to re-create ‘Surfer Rosa‘ times four over again, they’d equally have been pilloried for a lack of inventiveness and refusal to change. Damned if you do then and damned if you don’t; probably best to just be damned full stop, as the devil has all the best tunes.”
