The Pixies have released a new song entitled ‘Bagboy‘ as a free download on their official website.
The track has also had a video uploaded to YouTube (below), and includes a contribution from the now-departed Kim Deal. It is the first taste of fresh material from the US band for several years.
Kim Deal’s departure from the group was confirmed earlier this month via a statement released by Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering, in which they spoke of their pride at having worked with Deal for the best part of the last 25 years.
“We are sad to say that Kim Deal has decided to leave the Pixies,” the statement read. “We are very proud to have worked with her on and off over the last 25 years. Despite her decision to move on, we will always consider her a member of the Pixies, and her place will always be here for her. We wish her all the best.”
