Fans of his former band could take comfort from the presence of Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago and latter-day auxiliary keyboardist Eric Drew Feldman, but FRANK BLACK makes it clear that the singer\/guitarist was eager to move beyond his fierce signature sound, as revealed by the chiming melodies of \"I Heard Ramona Sing\" and a synthesizer-driven, New Wave-inspired take on the Beach Boys' \"Hang On to Your Ego.\" That's not to say that Black had forgotten how to rock out; the surging opening single, \"Los Angeles,\" and the lurching \"Ten Percenter\" are fast-paced, guitar-heavy tunes that nicely counterbalance the record's lighter moments, such as the dreamy \"Places Named After Numbers\" and the woozy \"Every Time I Go Around Here.\" While not a radical departure from Pixies territory, FRANK BLACK finds the alt-rock hero venturing beyond familiar territory on this eclectic, assured solo debut.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42275426631845,"sku":"5014436300431","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/89c4ed679c2ce820705373042a088d43_dfdfde41-efdc-485c-b30d-f82473fb13e8.jpg?v=1780924984","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/frank-black-8-16","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
