2016 Album Features Single "Um Chagga Lagga!"

The album was recorded with new producer Tom Dalgety. For the first time since the band's early days, the Pixies spent six weeks in their studio in London on pre-production, writing and rehearsing the album. Their first proper full-length album in many years is a return to the familiar Pixies sound.

Drummer David Lovering said "It was a wonderful luxury to have the time to be able to really work these new songs out. By the time we started recording, we all knew the songs backwards and forwards. So it took half as long to make this album as it did to make Indie Cindy."

"On Head Carrier, Pixies usher in more than a few changes, the biggest being bassist Paz Lenchantin. Replacing a member may be inconsequential for some bands, but for this one, it's a big deal (pun intended): Founding bassist Kim Deal departed prior to Indie Cindy, and the use of a session player on the album only underscored that a vital part of the group's appeal was missing. Thanks to Lenchantin, Pixies sound like a full -- if slightly different -- band again, whether she's sweetening 'Oona''s crunch with her harmonies or helping shape the album's character in general. The rest of the band's ease at having her in the fold is audible, and Head Carrier is a surprisingly nice album. 'Classic Masher' and 'Bel Esprit' recall the amiable jangle of 'Here Comes Your Man' and the band's cover of 'Winterlong,' and the easygoing vibe continues on 'All the Saints'' slo-mo surf and 'Plaster of Paris.' ...Head Carrier's best moments suggest they're heading in the right direction." - Heather Phares, allmusic.com
