Watch Pixies showcase new track ‘Um Chagga Lagga’

Pixies have started debuting a brand new song live and in session. ‘Um Chagga Lagga’ is the group’s first new material since last year’s ‘Indie Cindy’, and it’s been showcased at the band’s New York Beacon Theater show and in a session for Rolling Stone.

Both stripped down and in full-blown mode, it’s a twisted new take on the band’s firmly established sound. It’s set to be taken from a batch of new material to follow on from the first studio album since 1991.

Guitarist Joey Santiago recently told Billboard: “We are working on new music,” adding: “Sometimes we try [new songs] out live. It depends how we feel – and that’s how we do it always; the set list always depends on how we feel. These songs are a little more precious, a little more shy to come out live.”
