Pixies have returned with the release of their first new music for 2024 with a brand new AA-side single, “You’re So Impatient”/”Que Sera, Sera.”
The new AA-side finds Pixies creating a macabre and cinematic picture of American pop culture. Furious punk ditty “You’re So Impatient” is an explosive two-minute, nine-second Zombie attack at the mall, before Pixies twist the classic 1950’s standard “Que Sera, Sera” into a dark folk tale, told anew through the lens of a sci-fi monster epic – originally recorded as the soundtrack for the U.S. TV show “From.” A limited edition 7-inch single including both tracks will be released on July 19.
Speaking about “You’re So Impatient,” vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Black Francis said, “’You’re So Impatient’ is a slightly comedic suburban culture moment: there’s this guy, there’s this gal, there’s this tug-of-love dynamic going on. But the backdrop is the mall. And while the mall is crass, it’s also a very zombie, rock ‘n’ roll horror movie setting.”
Twenty-twenty-four is a momentous year for Pixies. Thirty-five years since their groundbreaking, Platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, was heralded as one of the top albums of the 1980s, and twenty years since the band’s celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act. Bigger than ever, playing to fans spanning multiple generations, and in the midst of a creative purple patch, with more new music soon to be announced.
Pixies are currently on tour with Modest Mouse across North America. Catch them in Toronto on June 8th at Budweiser Stage! The the full list of tour dates here.
