Frank Black is to release a double-disc album this June, entitled Fastman/Raiderman, through Cooking Vinyl.

The product of two years' recording with Jon Tiven in Nashville and LA, the 27-track album is a worthy successor to 2005's well-received Honeycomb. The record features celebrated contributors, including Levon Helm (The Band), Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick) and Al Kooper.

Black had the following to say on his current co-workers:

“On Honeycomb I was walking on eggshells. These guys are still legends, but now that we’d hung around a bit, I was more at ease.”

The album is released on June 19th.

I think some of Frank's solo work surpasses the Pixies now and then. 'Frank Black' was an excellent sequel to Trompe Le Monde, and most of the songs from 'Teenager of the Year' are incredibly good pop ditties/monstrosities.
