Pixies continue to tease out new material with the release of a second EP to follow last September’s ‘EP1’.

‘EP2’ builds on the momentum of the first release – showing Pixies to be a band far from content to mellow out. The EP features four new songs:  ‘Blue Eyed Hexe’, ‘Magdalena’, ‘Greens and Blues’ and ‘Snakes’. Talking about the tracks Black Francis says that ‘Blue-Eyed Hexe’ “took on different forms, different music and different sets of lyrics before it settled where it is now. It’s a tale from the northwest of the country and it’s a witch-woman kind of a song”. Of ‘Greens and Blues’ he says they were looking to create a “show closer... a good night song. A song that would – musically, emotionally and psychologically – sit in the same place that ‘Gigantic’ has sat”.

NME award 8/10 for this “bold new release" which is "keeping the intrigue of their new material relentlessly fresh," whilst Los Angeles Times call 'EP2' a record “worth getting excited about.”
