Pixies have shared the latest preview of their forthcoming eighth album, ‘Doggerel’ – an equally smoky and melodic cut of alt-rock titled ‘Vault Of Heaven’ – announcing with it a short run of US tour dates.The song itself features an allusion to a bad drug trip and copious references to 7-Eleven, as Black Francis (aka Frank Black) sings in the first verse: “There in the vault of heaven / While trying to titrate / I ended up in… / Another case.
I went to 7-Eleven / To try and get me straight / I ended up there… / In outer space.”‘Vault Of Heaven’ arrives alongside a suitably wacky music video, directed by Charles Derenne.
In the clip, a Speedo-clad man dressed as Zorro, riding a toy pony, ventures to a 7-Eleven in Hollywood where – joined by offbeat impersonators like a Black Elvis and an elderly Marilyn Monroe – he dances with puppeteered plush toys.
