Pixies plan new album next year

The Pixies plan to record their first new album in more than a decade next year, according to frontman Frank Black.

Black says he would like Tom Waits to produce the album because he likes the way his records sound.

Earlier this year the band recorded their first new song for 13 years, 'Bam Thwok' and released it on the internet - exclusively on Apple's iTunes Music Store.

The Pixies released their last album 'Tromphe Le Monde' in 1991. The band, which split in 1993, recently reformed for a series of North American and European shows, which included a concert at the Phoenix Park this year.
