PIXIES – SINGLE REVIEW

Pixies – On Graveyard Hill (Infectious/BMG) 
Pixies - On Graveyard Hill

Release Date: Out Now

It’s great to have Pixies back, isn’t it? I mean, as soon as new single ‘On Graveyard Hill’ gets going with that trademark rolling bass and scratchy guitar you know where you are and that is a fantastic feeling. Black Francis’ signature vocal sneer is front and centre and the drums punch like a nail-gun with precision and power in equal measure. What is notable, however, is just how clean this sounds, and so kudo music go to producer Tom Dalgety as well as Paz Lenchatin who, having stepped in to Kim Deal’s size 9s, co-write this song with Francis and adds perfectly pitched harmonies to boot. Like I said, it’s great to have these guys back in our lives and this is as strong a return to form as anyone could have hoped for.
