Pixies 'want to record film soundtrack'

Frank Black, aka Black Francis, has said that the Pixies' next studio release could be a movie soundtrack.

The singer told the NME that he likes the idea of the band collaborating with a director if they are to release a full album of new material.

Black said: "The band needs to work with a film director. Quentin Tarantino or someone like that. It'd be like, 'Make some music for our film, you guys be the sound of the film'. Spread the word about the idea 'cos I think it's gonna work."

Regarding the possibility of a standard new album, he said: "We'd have to finally get sick of playing the old repertoire and go, 'Alright, f**k it. Let's play new songs in our set'. But the only way we'd really want to do it is if it was really great.

"There's a fear that if we try to commit something to tape then even if it doesn't come out stellar, somehow those recordings will get leaked. The band is beloved by its audience, so we don't want to f**k it up."

Pixies recently released career-spanning boxset Minotaur, which included their first EP and all four studio albums.
