Pixies – “Tenement Song” Video

Alt-rock stalwarts Pixies officially announced their upcoming album Head Carrier earlier this summer after teasing new material and debuting a few new songs at NOS Alive! Since then we’ve heard the album tracks “Um Chagga Lagga” and “Talent.”

Today, we get the album’s first set of visuals for the track “Tenement Song.” The highly melodic, jangly jam details downtrodden living on a tenement block facing imminent demolition. As for the video, UK/European-based Krank! Collective takes cues from the album’s artwork and the song’s concept for a harrowing animated depiction of a squalor on the tenement block. The clip follows a rat’s journey through the living quarters as it scurries along encountering many people from different walks of life. Watch.
