Black Francis (AKA Frank Black) is the stage name used by Pixies singer, Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV. On leaving the Pixies, he inverted his stage name to become Frank Black.

He has now reverted to Black Francis for both his 2007 album, Bluefinger, and the seven-track EP Svn Fngrs (released in March 2008 in the UK).

"Your Mouth Into Mine" and "Test Pilot Blues" are must must must listens, regardless of whether or not you're a Black Francis/Frank Black fan. Sheer beauty and genius.

So are "The Catholics" as a band pretty much done? I really loved Dog in the Sand, Devil's Workshop, and Show me Your Tears ... don't get me wrong, Bluefinger and Svn Fngrs are my phenomenal and my favorite FB since Teenager of the Year, but The Catholics were great live and had their own unique sound (when compared to FB solo, with his wife, etc.)

This is without a doubt one of the most overlooked records of the last year. It's amazing!!!. It's just filled with great songs. The best vocals he's done in years. This is the new pixies record, had they reformed. The closest thing to Surfer Rosa I've heard. But on Judging by the amount of listeners though... there's a hell of a lot of people out there missing out.
