The animated new music video for 'Catfish Kate,' the first radio single from Pixies’ studio album 'Beneath The Eyrie' due out September 13th (BMG), ventures deep into the imagination of the band’s main lyricist Black Francis.  The clip weaves the bizarre lyrical and visual tale of mountain woman Kate’s simple task to catch a fish for that night’s dinner, and what occurs that has her known forever after as 'Catfish Kate.' 

The clip was created by the UK/European-based Krank! Collective who also produced the animated video for Pixies’ 'Tenement Song' from 2016’s Head Carrier.  Krank!’s Neirin Best and Lianne Pierce created the 'Catfish Kate' video using a variety of handmade and digital animation techniques, including old school light box, painted animation, rotoscoping and digital compositing.

Pixies 2019-2020 global trek to support 'Beneath The Eyre' begins Saturday August 31st at the Daydream Festival in Pasadena, CA.  The band then heads to the UK for its first European tour in two years, kicking off September 13th.  More worldwide dates will be announced shortly.
