Frank Black's new double album 'Fastman/Raiderman' is to be released in Ireland on 16 June.
The 27-song collection was recorded over two years in Nashville and Los Angeles.
'Fastman/Raiderman' features appearances from such legendary musicians as Steve Cropper (Booker T and the MGs), Spooner Oldham Levon Helm (The Band), Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick), and Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company).
Following his summer shows with the Pixies this year, Black plans to put a band together to tour his new album.
