That is because the primary songwriter is Frank Black, otherwise known as Black Francis...If you haven't heard Frank Black's Frank Black w I Heard Romona Sing and Teenager of the yr...you are missing out. Excellent albums.
I like Frank's subtle little digs at pitchfork. "So Pitchfork, it's a blog correct? I mean they aren't a publication in print, right?" I paraphrased but it's a total dig.

This is classic Pixies. When I heard this song for the first time I was like, "Cool beans, Pixies haven't lost the touch during the decades they were gone." I'm so happy about every new Pixies recording. Absolutely fantastic!
Im a big fan of nirvana and when kurt said that he got most of his inspiration from the pixies i had to look the band up and my god such an amazing band c: liking them all ready
dont even bother with this stuff, just first 5 albums completely different this stuff is about as original as using backwards footage in video, move on!
This is truly one of the greatest songs ever written, even with the high standard Pixies set over 30 years ago. Indie Cindy is a top 5 Pixies song. It has it all.
@@Swamped117 Yes, and the album should have been celebrated as the fuckin masterpiece it was !!!! I mean, as a fan, my favorite album will always be Bossanova, but I think "Indie Cindy" is maybe their most perfect album ever, when you think of it, regarding its structure, the insane balance between noisy and cooler songs, the production, etc. :)
been a pixies fan since 1989 , saw them last week in france and was disapointed they didn't play anything from this great album ! best gig of my life still
I wish I had appreciated Pixies when I was in college and Surfer Rosa first came out. So glad I've been able to rediscover their music in the years since. SOOO way ahead of their time. Proof positive...they release something like this all these years later and it just makes sense.
Best sound I've heard in years. Have listened to it on repeat for couple of months. One of those songs that brings you back to yourself; restores the outlook (positively) on the music industry, mankind, and the world by its existence - coming across this song. Clean, fresh, original, beautiful, depth. Thank you Charles MKT IV
I saw you live for the first time in 2005 in Reading Festival in UK. I went to a LOT of concerts and gigs, I produced records, and worked in the music industry. But you guys, that gig, was the best feeling I had in my life (so far of course;). You're not just a band I like, you changed my life. Love4ever or something like that. Really. I'm so glad I saw in 2005. And I'll cherish that memory "4ever". Love. Phil.
And 1 more thing ... never make a final decision about a Pixies tune until you've listened to it at least 10 times at seperate sittings. Their songs do grow on you. For quite awhile I didn't think much of most of the tracks on Trompe ... now, after many listens, I feel its every bit as good as the rest and it holds my fave Pixies tune "Bird Dream ..." . Just sayin', their stuff is too unique to be fully adsorbed on the first few passes.
I don't understand this at all. Firstly, I'm 99.9% sure that there's no such thing as a commercial chord change. The 0.1% of doubt demands that you share with me some examples of commercial chord changes, so I can go write a hit single. Secondly, and once again acknowledging the existence of commercial chord changes, why did he blow his Billboard chart topper by including a swear word in the lyrics? Thirdly, when was the last time a band made up of middle-aged musicians had a hit single? The Pixies were a hugely influential band when they were cherubic 20-somethings, but in terms of shifting units, especially in the US, they weren't at all successful. Finally, while it's most accurate to call the Pixies a rock band, they, like many of their contemporaries, predecessors and successors, had a strong pop sensibility. 'Beatles-based pop'.
This is Just what I needed....Does this song make anyone else want to pour gas on a house light a match and walk away in slow motion while the whole thing burns to the ground.....all without ever turning back to catch the last glimpse?
Avec l'âge ou la sagesse (as you want) les goûts tirent vers le classique (donc pop rock, très bien)...pour faire un peu comme un parallèle, communiste...jusque 40ans pk pas, après ça intrigue a défaut d'être chelou
Honestly, without fanboy gushing (because I am and have always been a fan of the Pixies old and new), this song evokes memories of some of the best work they ever did. Do I miss Kim, sure, but that takes nothing away from this. This song passes muster as excellent on its own merits. Lovering, Black and Santiago carry their weight here, it 'feels' and sounds distinctly 'Pixies'...and distinctly good Pixies at that.
C'est incroyable...même après avoir arrêté moult temps, dès que les Pixies sortent un sond,le truc sonne de manière incomparable.A mes yeux,c'est indiscutablement le plus grand goupe de rock de tous les temps!On peut dire qu'ils "bleuffent le monde" ,à chacune de leurs chansons;-)
the critics have had a go at this , but you know what , the melody when it comes round to it , is as good as any of the pixies best ones! Charles ALWAYS comes up with amazing melodies and thats ALL that really matters , if it passes the whistle test its good to go! and thats why i am fav this :)
The Pixies are back. I love the sound of this song. The ep is excellent. I can't believe it's been almost ten years since bam thwok! Now we wait till they release their full length album!
couldn't agree more, and further: the direction franks songwriting was going over the past 10 years (love all of it btw) you had to wonder if he still had songs like these in him as his songwriting deviated further and further away from the pixies and early frank black style. i for one am absolutely buzzing about how good they sound and particularly how youthfull franks voice sounds for a man of 48. anyone who is crazy enough to think this is only half as good as old stuff is lucky to hear it!
I've been religiously listening to the Pixies since my teenage years. They're my favorite band ever, I know every song by heart. Their latest stuff doesn't sound bad, but it's not THE Pixies. It's not something I can explain, I feel it: when I listen to this it's ok but, it doesn't have that drive that made Pixies songs so magical. Every Pixies song used to be raw emotion; good or bad, but always weird. Remember Motorway to Roswell? Alison? Velouria? Gigantic? Break my body? Can anyone tell me exactly what they're about? No, because they're all complex works of art. Their new songs all sound like the filler of some generic alternative rock band's album. What's this song about? guy's hot for a single mother. That's about it. Didn't capture my imagination at all. I wish I could love this so bad. I wish we could have more Pixies, but I don't think we ever will but for the old records. Speaking of which, where's UK Surf...
The lighting and colors on the video at 2:34 are very effective, the dark red hair against her pale skin and mint sweater has a stunning effect! Great cinematography for a killer song.
dig the harmonies in Jaime bravo. cascading ... joeys guitar... simple. magnificent.. i think some nattering folk need to just listen and not consider 'personalities' within a band. Some songs are always going to be better than others et al
Absolutely love this track. Huge fan of the pixies for a long time now, and though everyone talks shit about their more recent works, they still can move me. That being said, what the hell is a trotter?
this still sounds like pixies.....very unusual to hear a band keep that distinct sound over decades.
i was thinking the same, usually people are unhappy with older bands new music, but i thought was still great
Hmmmm feels classic and Good!!
Right? I’m always on the prowl for other artists with the pixies’ uniqueness, yet raw vibe.
That is because the primary songwriter is Frank Black, otherwise known as Black Francis...If you haven't heard Frank Black's Frank Black w I Heard Romona Sing and Teenager of the yr...you are missing out. Excellent albums.
yeah of course you think that, younlovely dumb fuck, you think that because it is the FUCKING PXIIES!!!!!
That chorus is just divine
MY FAVORITE BAND FOREVER.
this song has grown on me big time! fuck pitchfork.. music critics are just bitter failed musicians. top song!
I like Frank's subtle little digs at pitchfork. "So Pitchfork, it's a blog correct? I mean they aren't a publication in print, right?" I paraphrased but it's a total dig.
Can't stop listening to this song.
Long live Pixies.
Put this down for the record
It’s more or less unchequered
Wasted days and wasted nights
Made me a fucking beggar
No soul my milk is curdled
I’m the burgermeister of purgatory
Look out for that hot plate
Guess that’s all you got. Great
You put the cock in cocktail, man
Well I put the tail in - wait!
Watch. We. walk.
Blowtorch a hole in that armor
And I don’t need the tip
I am in love with your daughter
And though she has no need
I’m the one who’s got some trotters
You’ve many mouths to feed
Indie cindy
Be in love with me
I beg you for to carry me
Mixed messages from sir naff
Please authenticate
Just to be sure that you’re a sap
Set for stun automatica
Crap is the operative
Locomotive of the longest death
There goes indie cindy whose
Sails were black when it was windy
We offed ourselves in a lover’s pact
We threw ourselves into the sea
Well looksie what the wind washed back
As we follow the bouncing ball
They call this dance the washed up crawl
I am in love with your daughter
And though she has no need
I’m the one who’s got some trotters
You’ve many mouths to feed
Indie cindy
Be in love with me
I beg you for to carry me

love when frankie hits them high notes
Just saw the live in Hyde Park yesterday, and shame they didn’t play this song… but again was awesome to see and listen to my childhoods band.
Pure pixies! Frank Black on acoustic, more 6s than 8s, guitar work left to Joey, narcisiscm verses, romantic choruses ...
Hey..you summed them up well.. agree
only the best song ever
i am 14, i live in Buenos Aires, i love pixies albums, i love them now (i now how to speak english, speaking like this adds to de comment
Yo también soy de Argentina, una pena que no se escuche a los Pixies acá y todos escuchen Trap
Saludos desde Colombia, buen gusto musical el que tenés vos c":
Hi! I am at your age when you commented this. And I also love pixies and their albums
Dam you 24 now time Flys pixies still rock 🎸
24 años. Yo tengo 30 ya lpm
Spoken word verses and the dark reverby tone make such a good contrast for the chorus and the soft harmonica. Awesome song.
This is classic Pixies. When I heard this song for the first time I was like, "Cool beans, Pixies haven't lost the touch during the decades they were gone." I'm so happy about every new Pixies recording. Absolutely fantastic!
Still a twilight sound, as always
Im a big fan of nirvana and when kurt said that he got most of his inspiration from the pixies i had to look the band up and my god such an amazing band c: liking them all ready
dude, check out their old stuff (doolittle, surfer rosa) youll be blown away.
And “come on pilgrim” - their first EP - also a masterpiece!!!!
5 years on, I wonder if this person has had the opportunity to listen to their entire discography
dont even bother with this stuff, just first 5 albums
completely different
this stuff is about as original as using backwards footage in video, move on!
Check out the early stuff. Their first 3 albums are amazing! Also check out Frank Black's solo stuff before he joined pixes. It's pretty cool.
This is truly one of the greatest songs ever written, even with the high standard Pixies set over 30 years ago. Indie Cindy is a top 5 Pixies song. It has it all.
I agree. The absurd lyrics and wholesome premise. The ending is so fucking good.
I agree. One of the best songs ever written. It blows my mind every time I hear it.

This song brings tears to my eyes.
Pixies are such an amazing band, definitely underrated
One of the best bands ever!
BEST PIXIES
Always beautiful and haunting
So glad y’all are back!!!
I purchased this CD Indie Cindy, sometime around the release date. I got the case with fold-out, and a lyrics sheet. Pixies
One of the best pixies song easy....
been a pixies fan since 1989 , saw them last week in france and was disapointed they didn't play anything from this great album ! best gig of my life still
If the Pixies went to the r'n'r HOF it would be a major step backwards plus they have way too many dimensions to fit in that box. Unmatched🤘
Yeah, Pixies songs grow after you hear them more and more
Like Sonic Youth, they made music for themselves.... we're just along for the ride..
The current songs of Pixies have the same quality of the old songs. few or no one of the present old bands do this currently.
They did keep the essence of their sound together really well didnt they.
Counting Crows also.
Dinosaur Jr
agree, love this tune so much
it's kinda different though
Yes.
You know your in good music company when you say "I've seen them 4 times" and not one person says "Good for you" I love the Pixies as well.
I'm 50 this year.. discovered 'Wave of Mutilation' by Pixes from the 'Pump up the Volume Soundtrack' when I was 17..
Pump up the volume. rewatched it recently- still holds up.
That movie introduced me to Leonard Cohen's Everybody knows.
Great soundtrack.
Everybody like pixies. Kurt was right pixies are inspiration
I’ll go out on a limb and say that the chorus is this song stacks up against the the older Pixies classics!
I wish I had appreciated Pixies when I was in college and Surfer Rosa first came out. So glad I've been able to rediscover their music in the years since. SOOO way ahead of their time. Proof positive...they release something like this all these years later and it just makes sense.

Sarusource dont know wat the hell hes trying to say with that.. but damn is it catchy.
I guess he desires to be loved by the indie generation
Song great

Love this song, the chorus is so chill!

Pixies I've missed you so... Lacking a 'Deal', but it's nice to hear you once again. I can't stop listening to EP1, can't wait for EP2....
I've listen to this track and album for 4 days straight. Going for the week. :) pixies are definitely back!

Love this song....in fact love this album!
cant stop listening to this
I THANK FRANK for these new songs! I will treasure them.Riches deep.
This is a great starting point for what Pixies can achieve now they're back together.
The hook and the progression is unbelievably well done.
Hey Charles , still GREAT!!! Chorus here is THE Business!!!
amazing album they cant do wrong
Im addicted to this songs chorus, i cant stop humming it
The first few seconds I was worried by the commercial sounding chord changes - have Pixies gone pop ??? I needn't have worried ! Fantastic
Pixies have always been pop band anyhow
No.
I don't understand this at all. Firstly, I'm 99.9% sure that there's no such thing as a commercial chord change. The 0.1% of doubt demands that you share with me some examples of commercial chord changes, so I can go write a hit single.

Great song. The last minute and a half are absolute euphoria.
I love their new stuff as well as their old stuff. Really like this song and Blue Eyed Hexe.
And I love you :P
Pixies always made music that grows on you. this was an exceptional example. Frank's songwriting is unlike anything I hear elsewhere.
This is Just what I needed....Does this song make anyone else want to pour gas on a house light a match and walk away in slow motion while the whole thing burns to the ground.....all without ever turning back to catch the last glimpse?
Similar to the closing scene of Fight Club juxtaposed to " Where is my mind"

Just when I began to wonder wether any band should go past a 3rd album the mighty Pixies prove there is still awesome to be made!
I freaking love this song!
Pixies are literally my whole life at this point man
Great song and a very strong album overall! I'm so glad for the guys. Musically I'd say it's a mix of Pixies and Frank Black solo stuff.
Te voy a recordar siempre con esta canción por qué durante 4 tu me llevaste te amo te ame y lo seguiré haciendo hasta que formes tu familia

Instantly recognised as The Pixies, I can just make up Kims backing vocals in my head. Awesome song, about time.
totally in line with the expectations of the new pixies material, great stuff

I'm in love with music again, damn fine American rock music by the best American band out there!
This song is simply beautiful and amazing. I really don't know what's wrong with you people that criticize it.
I remember this song. When I was 22 👽 great memories
People saying this sounds like artics, oasis whoever else, please do you homework. These muthafuckas were doing this 20years ago. Errrgh
owen deneny lol who said that? Shallow bands compared to our lord and savior Pixies
+Saul Cifuentes Jazz indeed
Lol, try 30.
I love the Pixies, have done for years, this song definitely sounds like Oasis/Arctics, who are both incredible bands too. This is unreal
I've been religiously listening to the Pixies since my teenage years. They're my favorite band ever, I know every song by heart. Their latest stuff doesn't sound bad, but it's not THE Pixies.

Remember Motorway to Roswell? Alison? Velouria? Gigantic? Break my body? Can anyone tell me exactly what they're about? No, because they're all complex works of art.
Their new songs all sound like the filler of some generic alternative rock band's album. What's this song about? guy's hot for a single mother. That's about it. Didn't capture my imagination at all.
I wish I could love this so bad. I wish we could have more Pixies, but I don't think we ever will but for the old records. Speaking of which, where's UK Surf...
The lighting and colors on the video at 2:34 are very effective, the dark red hair against her pale skin and mint sweater has a stunning effect! Great cinematography for a killer song.
not sure why any pixie fan wouldnt love all these new tracks
Jeff Cooper cuz “ theyre not the same without Kim”. Thats a load of rubbish if you ask me!!!
your ignorance and lack of moving on with a band is seflish. Pixies does not need Kim anymore, shes in the past

Finally a good song! Different from the others, is this what makes special this one.. I love it, good job Pixies..
Everyone who claims this isnt a pixies tune has kniw respect for the rest of the band
The more I listen, the more I love this song. I believe it will be even better live with Kim Shattuck singing with Charles.
dig the harmonies in Jaime bravo. cascading ... joeys guitar... simple. magnificent.. i think some nattering folk need to just listen and not consider 'personalities' within a band. Some songs are always going to be better than others et al
