Posted in Bands on December 28, 2014

The albums will appear on the new release in alphabetic order. "It feels like an approximation of randomness and its a way to randomise something, especially if its titles,” says Black of the sequencing. Furthermore, "[this way] we get away from the preciousness of LPs we put out and its more about the body of work, the good times that we had."

Black is also active in The Pixies, who released Indie Cindy earlier in 2014.
