Pixies‘ Joey Santiago and Dave Lovering have spoken to NME about their new album ‘The Night The Zombies Came’, new bassist Emma Richardson and their top reunion tips for Oasis.Their ninth album, released on Friday (October 25) follows on from 2022’s acclaimed ‘Doggerel’ and was recorded at Vermont’s Guilford Sound studios with regular second-era producer Tom Dalgety.Boasting a loose zombie theme, with the undead, their victims and gun-toting heroes cropping up throughout, it’s also the first Pixies album to feature Richardson – best known as bassist and singer in Southampton’s Band Of Skulls – after previous bassist Paz Lenchantin left the band in March claiming that her departure was “a bit of a surprise to me as it is to many”.Lovering described the band’s new line-up as “wonderful”.“Emma’s a joy,” the drummer told NME. “She plays really well, she sings really well.
