The mighty Pixies have announced details of their sixth studio album ‘Head Carrier’!

Released on Friday 30th September, the 12-track record was produced by Tom Dalgety (Killing Joke, Royal Blood) and recorded at London's Rak Studios over a one-month period between February and March this year.

As a taster for the record, the band have unleashed the brilliant album track ‘Umm Chagga Lagga’, which you can listen to right here:

Pixies will be announcing a full UK tour to support the album’s release imminently.

The ultra-influential band have also announced that bassist Paz Lenchantin is a fully fledged permanent member of the group now. She sings lead vocals on album track ‘All I Think About Now’.

"I was very nervous in the beginning when I went to that first rehearsal," said Lenchantin. "There were these shoes I felt I had to fill and I tried to do the best I could for the fans, to make the live performances sound true to the originals.

“I spent three years learning to understand what being a Pixie meant, and now, my heart, spirit, and love for their music is embedded in me and I feel like I have become a Pixie. We had been more about the history of the Pixies, but now, we are about going forward."

"Paz is a joy to be around," adds drummer David Lovering. "She's very funny, and we're having more fun than we've ever had as a band, we all have a blast together, on and off stage."
