Pixies to include tribute track to Kim Deal on next LP

Pixies will salute former bassist Kim Deal on their next album.
New bassist Paz Lenchantin asked frontman Black Francis to write a "thank-you letter" song to Deal, to which Francis agreed. The Lenchantin-sung track will be featured on Head Carrier, the followup to 2014's compilation of EPs Indie Cindy.
Black Francis describes the new album as having an "early Pixies slosh", being more Doolittle than Indie Cindy.
Though drummer David Lovering has acknowledged that Kim Deal is irreplaceable, he has also ecstatically praised Lenchantin.
