在今年夏天 Pixies 找來了 Kim Shattuck 接替 Kim Deal 的位置,然而 Shattuck 昨天發表一段訊息表示自己和樂團的關係已走到尾聲,The Muffs 主唱在 Facebook 上說她感到非常失望:「超失望的得知我和Pixies的緣分就到今天,很不可思議的經驗,期待將重心放回 the Muffs 和即將發行的新專輯,感謝大家的支持。」
在前陣子 NME 的專訪中揭露 Kim Deal 早已在去年10月離團,然而 Pixies 到今年六月才宣布。而在近期的樂團專訪上 Kim Shattuck 也沒有出席,而專訪中 Black Francis 拒絕回答為何 Shattuck 沒有參與只剪短表示:「我想你可以問我們經紀人。」推測當時 Shattuck 已和樂團產生紛爭。
