Watch: Pixies Share New Single/Video "Hear Me Out"

Boston alt rockers Pixies have shared the video for their new single "Hear Me Out".

The double A-side single Hear Me Out / Mambo Sun will be out on October 16th. Get your copy here.

The song was written by frontman Black Francis and Lenchantin at Dreamland Studios during sessions for ‘Beneath The Eyrie’, with production courtesy of the Grammy-nominated Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Ghost, etc.).  

“‘Hear Me Out’ is about things not turning out the way we hoped, but knowing that it’s going to be ok regardless,”says Lenchantin. “Black started the melody phrases on an old organ. I loved it right away, so he asked me to take a pass at the lyrics. The song has an evocative melody that inspired the lyrics to come out straight away.”  

Joey Santiago added, “Paz sounds like she’s talking to a guy with deaf ears. I did a western style riff at the end of verses, which was like giving her a gun so the dude would pay attention.”

Watch: Peel Premiere New Single/Video "Catch & Release"

Los Angeles electronic/alt project Peel have premiered the video for their new single "Catch & Release".

The song is taken from their forthcoming self-titled debut EP, set to arrive on October 16 via Innovative Leisure, we have previously heard "Citizen X". Buy it here.

It started off as a drum beat inspired by Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" alongside a delicate and lush guitar line inspired by Robin Guthrie. There’s a melancholy beauty captured in this song. The perspective of two lovers acknowledging the suffering of the world, trying to push forward, hand in hand, together.

“There’s an energy and transcendence in live performance that we’re trying to capture,” says Innis, “having the sound reverberate through the room, even if there’s bleed, embracing it and letting it color the take.” Cimino adds, “The lyrics were born out of dream logic. There’s a melancholy beauty captured.”

Peel is the musical partnership of Sean Cimino and Isom Innis (of Foster the People).
