Pixies share "Tenement Song" from upcoming record Head Carrier

05 September 2016, 12:18 | Written by Laurence Day

Pixies have revealed new single/video "Tenement Song", the latest preview of upcoming album Head Carrier.

Pixies have already shared "Talent" and "Um Chagga Lagga", a thrash-laced preview of the follow up to 2014's Indie Cindy.

The "Tenement Song" video is unfluenced by the track's lyrics and Vaughan Oliver's artwork for the LP - it comes courtesy of Krank! Collective, who created the clip using "a variety of handmade and digital animation techniques, including old school light box, painted animation, rotoscoping and digital compositing."

Head Carrier is released 30 September via Pixiesmusic/Play It Again Sam.
