It began with Charles swerving to avoid a large deer, it gained Joey’s instant approval, involved a series of complex chord changes, needed a magic middle eight, required Dave to tune the Timpani and ended as the only ballad on Beneath the Erie.

The album's guiding spirit, Tom Dalgety, discusses his multifaceted role as producer, mentor, father confessor and chief of time management. Charles finds his ‘thinking stick’, compares creating a song with making the perfect sandwich and claims “This is the part of the recording process that kind of kills the soul”. Joey, on the other hand is “…thinking too much”.

Imagine you’re a member of a rock band. A band so influential, that your work created an entirely new genre. A genre which defined contemporary music for a whole generation of listeners. Then, imagine that despite extraordinary critical and popular acclaim, your band broke up. Imagine that your band’s disappearance actually increased its legend and influence to the point that popular demand forced you to reunite. And after a 13 year hiatus, your band became more popular than ever before. Now imagine, 14 years after returning to the scene, you’re back in the studio recording a new album, to build on your legacy and take your place at the forefront of the genre you created. Imagine – you are a member - of the Pixies.
