Frank Black's solo stuff has never really lived up to anything he did with Pixies. His first album was Ok I suppose. His new single (under the name of Black Francis) is indie rock which sounds a bit like the Blues Explosion. Who'd have thought it. Threshold Apphension is 7" only!!TRACKLISTING:
A.Threshold Apprehension. B.
Released on 7” with exclusive b side
A full length version of the track will also appear on ‘Bluefinger’, the new Black Francis studio album scheduled for September
Of the new material, Black Francis says: “Bluefinger: someone from Zwolle, Netherlands … So I used a couple of Herman Brood's painting titles for songs of my own for my new record Bluefinger. Herman Brood, the great Dutch rocker, painter, and famous junkie, who completed his journey in that great rock and roll suicide when he jumped off the Amsterdam Hilton a few years ago, was born in Zwolle. Up there on the hill, above the cows, Herman Brood descended and for 54 years lived and walked among us. I have my own impressions as to what his painting Threshold Apprehension was all about. My song Threshold Apprehension has nothing to do with the painting except that it, and my record Bluefinger, has everything to do with my impressions of Herman Brood.”
...according to bradley douglas.
This is just one of 11 amazing songs of the new album bluefinger. Black Francis is back in a big way. It seems he's finally given in to his talent for writing catchy riffs and melodies and released a very radio friendly album without selling out. This work has all the familiar sounds from his post Frank Black days but with a new....something? This is is the Black Francis I remember but all the same, I'm gonna miss Frank Black. Some of the stuff he was coming out with was really enjoyable. Check out SVN FNGRS the new Black Francis album coming out the first week of May 2008. 2 tracks are already up on blackfrancis.net and all I can say is WOW! Keep it comin Charles!!!
