PIXIES have shared a brand new music video for their latest single Human Crime. It’s the first new music we've heard from the alt-rock legends since 2019's, Beneath The Eyrie.

The otherworldly video for Human Crime was directed by Pixies' bassist (since 2014), Paz Lenchantin who said that the “storyline is loosely based on an ‘inside joke’ between Charles [Thompson] and I about going on tour. How we go through a door from our reality state into the altered state of becoming and being a Pixie.”

 In a recent interview with The Guardian, frontman Frank Black revealed that he had “put together about 40 songs for the current Pixies record.” When asked whether he ever worries about having peaked as a songwriter, he said, “You write something that you’re pleased with, and your first thought is, ‘I just wrote the best song I ever wrote.’ But to say, ‘I’m never going to write another song that good’ would be quite an epiphany, so I’m not inclined to make that kind of statement.”

In the same interview, Black reflected on his silence between songs during live performances which bring a commanding effect to his stage presence, saying, “I have nothing against people who talk between songs. I’m just not very good at it,” he admitted. “You become very self-conscious when someone’s tuning their guitar or there’s a pause in the show. It makes you nervous, so you ramble and make stupid jokes into the microphone. I’d listen back to early recordings. Most of the time you couldn’t understand what I was saying, and if you did understand, it was stupid, so I just felt like an idiot.”
