Just because the Pixies have returned to set music right again doesn't mean you should turn your back on Frank Black and the Catholics. While the Pixies were on a decade or so hiatus, Frank was still putting out great music. Show Me Your Tears is a great rock album that is heavily influenced with bluesy riffs, slides, and barroom piano. Yet, throughout he builds on his signature Pixie sound and at times surpasses his past. But, you have to invest yourself into this record, if you just give it a quick one over, you'll probably be disappointed. Listen a couple times and you'll find it hard to let go.
Songs you should listen for:
Massif Centrale- Simply the best song on the record. Great riffs layered with Black's Falsetto voice that briefly shocks the listener then leads into an entrancing chorus "That's the sign of your love behavior."
Everything is New
Coastline
