Grab a flagon of mead and let Pixies tell you the stories of ‘Beneath The Eyrie’; tales so evil and warped, they’re not for the faint-hearted

It's time to consider Pixies on the same terms as the likes of Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young

The Music
A fun little listen, one that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is therefore, thanks to the boisterous beats, splendid execution, and ambiguous nature of the stories it tells, a very good release

For the most part, an album of rock songs to cherish in the Pixies oeuvre, united by an eerie thread that’s hard to shake off

Arguably their greatest work in 28 years, this otherworldly album filters present-day tribulations through the band's witchy, psychedelic prism

And though they might be mellowing in their age, that doesn’t mean to say they’ve compromised an inch, and 'Beneath The Eyrie' proves just that

The Pixies are always at their best when they don’t give a toss what others think. It quickly becomes apparent on Beneath the Eyrie they are making these tracks to suit themselves

The band has reached a point where it can reference the past without feeling beholden to it, while forging an increasingly solid present, and that’s nothing to be angry about

Overall, the Pixies' seventh album is palatable — the songs are generally likeable — but it lacks excitement

Spookier and more fun, as well as looser and more cohesive than the band's two previous albums, Beneath the Eyrie isn't just the best Pixies 2.0 album to date

American Songwriter
The weirdness of Doolittle or the punch of Trompe Le Monde are what made Pixies legends, but their shadow looms oppressively large. With Beneath The Eyrie, Pixies have finally found a new stride, releasing a solid effort that can breathe easily on its own
