Pixies – The Night The Zombies Came

Vinyl 12"

The Night The Zombies Came' is Pixies' tenth album and first new music since 2022's acclaimed 'Doggerel' LP. 13 new songs that find Pixies looking ahead to the most cinematic record of their career. Druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, mediaeval themed restaurants, 12th century poetic form, surf rock, gargoyles, bog people, and the distinctive dry drum sound of 1970s era Fleetwood Mac are just some of the disparate wonders that inform the new songs. Early on in the recording process at Guilford Sound studio in Vermont, the band noticed the new songs were dividing into two camps: what they came to call the 'Dust Bowl Songs' - country-tinged, ballad-esque numbers such as 'Primrose' and 'Mercy Me', and on the other side, the album's furious punk numbers such as 'You're So Impatient' and 'Oyster Beds'.
