Today, Pixies have shared a brand new single, “Motoroller.” It is lifted from their upcoming album, The Night the Zombies Came, which will be out on October 25th via BMG.
The news of the single comes alongside the announcement that Pixies will be returning to the UK and Europe in April and May 2025 for a 20-date headlining tour, including nine UK shows with two nights at London’s O2 Brixton Academy.
Following its debut on Steve Lamacq’s BBC Radio 6 Music show last night, the dynamic “Motoroller” follows Pixies frontman and principal songwriter Black Francis on a scooter ride across Berlin. Speaking on the track, Francis says: “This is one of those kinds of songs where there’s little threads you can follow and they take you somewhere. But they’re not required for the experience. You can just start fishing around in the lyrics, and maybe you won’t find exactly what the story is, but you’ll find a story related to the city of Berlin. So just have fun with the clues that are there.”
