Pixies unveil video for “What Goes Boom”

Pixies have aired an accompanying clip for their recent EP track “What Goes Boom”, a video in which they (spoiler alert) blow up their own guitarist.

“Our original vision for the ‘What Goes Boom’ video was to create an homage to a central, dramatic scene in Star Wars,” directors Jonathan Furmanski and Matthew Galkin told NPR. ”But, after that idea proved a bit too costly to produce, we decided the next best thing was to blow up Joey Santiago in the desert – the compromises we make for our art.”

Watch the video in question beneath. The Pixies’ comeback short-player, EP-1, is out now.
