Have you ever been listening to the Pixies and found yourself thinking, “Hmm, there’s too many words in here!” I KNOW, ALL THE TIME, RIGHT? Well don’t turn off your stereo just yet, college rock fans, because the Pixies’ Joey Santiago and David Lovering have joined forces to create experimental instrumental rock band The Everybody. And they’ve got a split 7-inch coming atcha faster than you can say “colored vinyl!” Or at least by December 20.
This special split goes by the name of “Marooned” b/w “Demon Oar.” It’s a collaboration between The Everybody and legendary studio wizard Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Curtis Mayfield) on “Marooned” and the anagram-loving Indiana alt-rockers Stationary Odyssey on “Demon Oar.” (Stationary Odyssey’s contribution is a reworked version of Side A.) Pixies superfans and weirdo collectors of limited-run releases, take note! Because this baby’s limited to a run of 300 and it comes on delicate white vinyl, nestled snugly into a screen-printed wooden case by Ryan Grisham of the band Mock Orange. There’s even a Kickstarter page for those that want to give/get more. Lyrics schyrics. The sounds of a million Pixies fans drooling should be more than enough.
