Pixies frontman Frank Black is to release a new solo album called Fastman/Raiderman.
The album will include a massive twenty-seven tracks, and reportedly has a harder sound than his 2005 release Honeycomb.
Black attributes the change to feeling more comfortable with his back-up band. He told Stereoboard: "These guys are still legends, but now that we'd hung around a bit, I was more at ease."
Recorded over a two-year period, some of the songs were recorded in an intensive 24-hour session with musicians playing in three shifts, and only a two-hour sleep break.
The singer plans to assemble a supporting band and take the record on tour later this year, following the Pixies' European tour dates this summer.
