Following the success of the track “Bagboy” and the four-track “EP-1,” Pixies deliver again, rolling out “EP-2,” four more brand new songs – “Blue-Eyed Hexe,” “Magdalena,” “Greens and Blues” and “Snakes,” as well as a music video for “Blue-Eyed Hexe.”
The new songs were recorded during October 2012 at Rockfield Studios in Wales, UK, were produced by Gil Norton and written by the Pixies. As with the band’s “EP-1″ and “the Bagboy” track, as well as the Pixies’ original classic albums, “EP-2″ features special artwork designed by Vaughan Oliver at v23. “EP-2″ is available exclusively on the band’s website – pixies music.com – as a DDL (mp3 only), lossless DDL, limited edition 10-inch vinyl, and as part of special bundles. The “Blue-Eyed Hexe” music video can be viewed below:
About “Blue-Eyed Hexe”, Pixies’ Black Francis explained, “It’s a tale from the northwestern part of the UK, and it’s a witch-woman kind of a song. That’s what a ‘hexe’ is, and ours is a blue-eyed hexe.” Guitarist Joey Santiago added, “Gil wanted a swagger, he wanted the guitar solo to sound like you’re going to have sex with this blue-eyed hexe.”
Pixies will continue their extensive world tour in 2014, kicking off on January 15 with a 33-city North American trek, followed by a series of major South American and European festivals in the Spring and Summer. The festival appearances will include headline slots at Lollapalooza Chile, Lollapalooza Argentina, and Lollapalooza Brazil in April, as well as at London’s “Field Day” in early June.
