Alternative rock outfit Pixies will release their forthcoming studio LP in September. On Wednesday, the band announced they have documented the album’s lengthy recording process with a new, behind-the-scenes podcast to be titled, “Past Is Prologue, Pixies.” The band recorded the as-yet-untitled seventh studio album with producer Tom Dalgety, who was also behind 2016’s Head Carrier.
Pixies recorded their forthcoming record at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, New York, after devoting the entirety of 2018 to writing new material. In conjunction with Signal Co. No1, the forthcoming “Past Is Prologue, Pixies” podcast will be available each week beginning on June 27th, and should help the band build up to the album’s September release.
As Rolling Stone reports, “music journalist Tony Fletcher, the author of popular biographies of R.E.M. and The Who’s Keith Moon, will host and narrate the weekly, 12-episode podcast. The writer guides listeners through time spent in the studio control room, main room and a special ‘video booth’ where band members shared their observations throughout the recording; Fletcher also interviewed the Pixies and Dalgety individually.”
