Black Francis has said The Pixies have not ruled out the possibility of recording a new album together.

The frontman, who is currently promoting his solo albums, said he will only keep performing with the band if they produce new material.

He told NME: "It's just a waiting game right now. Whatever we do in the future is gonna have to be fresh.

"I have to see if the band as a whole wants to go into the recording studio for a new record. That makes sense on some level.

"For us, there's gotta be an angle. It can't be just playing our old songs over and over."

The Pixies reformed for a world tour in 2004, which included shows at Coachella and Reading and Leeds Festivals.

1991's Trompe Le Monde was the US band's last studio record.
