Pixies have shared another single from their forthcoming studio album, The Night The Zombies Came, and it is a lean two-minute work of punk rock animated by David Lovering’s insistent beat and wall-of-sound electric guitars with Palme d'Or-worthy tones.
Titled Oyster Beds, the track was inspired by frontman Black Francis’ painting sessions while the band were holed up at Rockfield Studios, in Wales. The lyrics, which are shared in the video for the track, read like a stream of consciousness, and are described by Francis as “a laundry list of things I was painting over the last couple years.”
