Boston alt-rockers Pixies – consisting of Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering, and Paz Lenchantin – have unleashed their new video single “Human Crime,” which you can check out below. The track was written by Charles Thompson, produced and mixed by Tom Dalgety, and recorded in Los Angeles in the fall of 2021.
A presser states, “Directed by Pixies’ Paz Lenchantin and filmed in the Los Angeles area at the San Pedro abandoned bunkers and Santa Monica’s Gold Diggers Bar, the “Human Crime” music video gives the viewer a glimpse into a nether world of fairies, situated just around that next corner, parallel to our dimension, rarely seen or experienced.”
Lenchantin adds, “The storyline is loosely based on an ‘inside joke’ between Charles and I about going on tour. How we go through a door from our reality state into the altered state of becoming and being a Pixie.”
Pixies are also headed to the road this year, see all confirmed tour dates after the clip.
