Pixies singer Frank Black has reportedly started his own label called The Bureau, which he says he’ll use to release his own future material as well as “the next big new sexy thing.”

“Running a label today isn’t that different than at any other time. There’s less money floating around, but I think it’s a good thing. I think it’s more honest. It just puts the pressure on everybody to be good. Some of these record companies need to just stop fucking around and being such asses,” said Black, who adds that any possible future Pixies releases won’t be released through his label.

“Pixies will either do something really traditional, with a big old record company, or something a lot more radical. Hopefully the radical approach. But The Bureau has other things on its plate.”

Those other things include the label’s inaugural releases, which the Guardian reports will be albums from Jeremy Dubs and former Captain Beefheart collaborator Eric Drew Feldman.

Black says he never planned on starting his own label, but now that he has he hopes he’ll get invited to some “really intense high-end parties”.
