While the Pixies were down ol’ South America way in Portugal earlier this month performing at the NOS Alive festival, they rolled out a number of brand new songs from their upcoming sixth album Head Carrier. And they sounds pretty good—not just the band, but the new songs. We already had some reason to be hopeful about the 30-year-old band’s newest effort after they dropped the album’s introductory single “Um Chagga Lagga,” but seeing/hearing them perform “Baal’s Back,” “Classic Masher,” and the titular “Head Carrier” makes it official: It’s safe to be excited.
