Pixies have uploaded a brand new song to YouTube – ‘Women Of War‘ featured as an accompanying 7″ single with the limited edition Record Store Day version of their ‘Indie Cindy‘ album and will be available as a bonus track when the album gets a full release later this month. It can now be sampled below.
‘Indie Cindy’ brings together the recent trio of EPs ‘EP1‘, ‘EP2‘ and ‘EP3‘ and is the band’s first full collection of new material for over two decades. Its main release is due on April 28th.
“The album is a mixed bag containing both the bizarre brilliance that shaped Pixies’ earlier material and a more conventional sound that could well be an expression of the band’s maturity, or willingness to move a little more into the mainstream,” Live4ever’s review states.
“‘What Goes Boom’ is a heavy opener that contrasts a chugging guitar riff with intermittently softer vocal work. This sets the tone and demonstrates the quartet’s commitment to the loud/quiet switches that are ubiquitous in their early work. ‘Greens and Blues’ doesn’t carry itself quite as well, but features some great distorted wails from lead guitarist Joey Santiago.”
