Frank Black Readies Black Francis Bluefinger Album

Frank Black of Pixies fame has gone back to the older moniker of Black Francis for his next album, Bluefinger.

The album is inspired by Dutch painter / musician Herman Brood - who Black also covers on this very record, by offering his own take on the song You Can't Break A Heart And Have It.

Speaking of the album, Black Francis says: "My new manager asked me for a bonus track for a "best of" compilation to be released later in the year."

"As I prepared for the sessions, I became gripped by the spirit of Herman Brood, and my bonus track expanded into an 11 song record called Bluefinger in just a few days." he continued.

Cooking Vinyl will release the eleven track long-player on September 3rd, a week after the single Captain Pasty emerges on August 27th.
