We welcome your positive hopes/prayers as we hope and pray for you all.” Advertisement Related Video In January 2022, Parker revealed in an interview on the SHEROE pod...

Pixies go on an epic journey from a 7-11 to the “Vault of Heaven” on their newest single. The track appears on their September 30th album, Doggerel, and if you live in California or New York, you’ll be able to hear it live on the band’s newly-announced four-date US tour. “Vault of Heaven” would seem to be about a bad drug trip, but that depends on a rare word they’re using often, “titrate.” As in, “There in the vault of heaven/ While trying to titrate/ I ended up in another case/ I went to 7-11 to try and get me straight/ I ended up there in outer space.” Most commonly, titration is an attempt to measure the concentration of a chemical, though in medicine the term is sometimes used when adjusting a dosage. Either way, the process doesn’t seem to be going well for Pixies. Black Fr...
