Pixies Release Catchy New Song And Video “Human Crime”, Announce Spring And Summer 2022 International Tour Dates

The legendary band has released their latest single “Human Crime,” a digital-exclusive single and music video. It is their first new release since September 2020 via Infectious/BMG. The track was written by Charles Thompson and was produced and mixed by Tom Dalgety. It was recorded in Los Angeles in the fall of 2021. “Human Crime” is classic Pixies with nostalgic guitar riffs and drums.

Its visual was directed by Pixies’ very own 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. As Lenchantin said, “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.” Check it out below.

After canceling the rest of their 2021 tour due to COVID, the band will be hitting the road this year. The tour will kick off on March 15 in Tucson, AZ and will continue into Europe. Check out the full list of shows below.
