Album Details

The Pixies return with their sophomore "post-reunion" album Head Carrier. Recorded in just three weeks with producer Tom Dalgety (Killing Joke, Royal Blood), Head Carrier has all the sonic hallmarks of a classic Pixies album – tungsten guitar riffage, sun-soaked harmonies, rhythmic pummel and lyrical intrigue – while never pandering to nostalgia. The band – drummer David Lovering, rhythm guitarist/vocalist Black Francis and guitarist Joey Santiago – also officially welcomes bassist Paz Lenchantin to the Pixies' permanent line-up here. Lenchantin has been the band's touring bassist since January 2014, and played an integral part in the recording of Head Carrier.

Aligned to its palpably fresh momentum, many of its songs have a poignant undertow, acknowledging its creators' real time/real life journey. At least three songs, according to Black Francis, "fall into the sour grapes love song category," though two of these – "Classic Masher" and "Bel Esprit" – feel quite exultant. The title track and "Plaster Of Paris," meanwhile, share a somewhat thematic kinship, though the linkage is worthy of a cryptic crossword setter, turning upon the grisly fate of Saint Denis, the first bishop of Paris.
