The Pixies this week announced plans to release a new studio album in September, a 12-track record called Beneath the Eyrie that is the band’s third post-reunion, post-Kim Deal effort and seventh full-length overall. The first single, “On Graveyard Hill,” is streaming below.

The band — original members Black Francis, David Lovering, Joey Santiago and new(er) bassist Paz Lenchantin — recorded the new songs in December at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, N.Y. The album is produced by Tom Dalgety, who handled production of the band’s last record, 2016’s Head Carrier.

The recording process for Beneath the Eyrie will be the subject of a new podcast series called “Past is Prologue, Pixies” that is set to debut later this month.

The new album is due out Sept. 13, and is available for pre-order from the band in a variety of formats, including vinyl, CD, cassette and digital, and packages. There’s a deluxe box set that includes the album and a second disc of nine demos on clear vinyl, plus the a CD of the record, too.
