THE GUARDIAN: Pixies have unveiled Blue-Eyed Hexe, the lead song from a new recording entitled EP-2. The track, which is three minutes and 25 seconds of swaggering riffs and screeching vocals, is based on a tale from the northwestern part of the UK. “It’s a witch-woman kind of a song,” the band wrote in a statement. “That’s what a ‘hexe’ is, and ours is a blue-eyed hexe.” The four-track EP is the latest in a scheduled string of releases from the group, who told the New York Times in September 2013 that there would be a “series of mini-releases” over the next 15 months. Alongside Blue-Eyed Hexe, EP-2 features the tracks Magdalena, Snakes, and Greens and Blues, all of which were recorded with Gil Norton at Rockfield in Wales in October 2012. MORE
