Joey Santiago, guitar mangler for archetypal alt-rockers the Pixies, joins his signature squall with Linda Mallari, an energetic, classically-trained popster to give you a sneak peek at their forthcoming album Smitten (5/4)—an album of unforgiving power-pop that howls like Siouxsie Sioux, drives like Veruca Salt and, naturally, cracks open the Pixies bone machine.

Those familiar buzzes and squonks have returned—albeit in a different form. After years of rumor and hearsay, The Martinis have finally poured out of Los Angeles with their debut record, Smitten, a sunny monster of a pop record that runs the energetic hooks of chief singer/songwriter Linda Mallari against Santiago’s signature angular assault.
