An independent record label has announced the release of a supposedly new Pixies album.

ArtistsInResidence have previously made available limited deluxe editions of albums from Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Sigur Ros and The Rentals.

The label has announced what appears to be a new Pixies album entitled Minotaur, and revealed that the Steve Albini-produced record will be released on June 15.

Pixies released their last studio LP Trompe Le Monde in 1991 before splitting up in 1993.

The band reformed in 2004 for a number of live shows and released the download-only single 'Bam Thwok', penned by bassist and Breeders-founder Kim Deal.

Last year, frontman Frank Black said that he would not rule out a new album from the grunge pioneers.

Pixies play the Isle Of Wight festival on June 14, with the band taking to the stage before headliner Neil Young.
