A brand new Pixies music video for the song “Magdelena" premieres today on YouTube, scroll down to view.
The video was conceived and directed by Judy Jacob (for Everything is OK), who directed and edited some of the highly-stylistic films made for Pixies’ 2009-2011 “Doolittle” world tour. Completely different from the other Pixies music videos for this project, the provocative “Magdelena” clip stars innovative British dance/theatre/performance artist Nando Messias.
“Magdelena” is the second video from Pixies’ EP-2, released on January 3, and the song, as the band’s Black Francis put it, is “basically a blues-shape with a Beatles-esque left turn, and a lot of Pixies-referential lyrics."
Pixies are currently in the midst of the North American leg of their 2013-2014 world tour. They head to South America at the end of March for a series of major festivals including performances at Lollapaloozas in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, and then return to Europe for the summer festival circuit.
