Pete Yorn teams up with Frank Black

Last year’s collaboration with Scarlett Johansson was probably more aesthetically pleasing but music fans will likely be more excited by Pete Yorn’s latest hook-up with Frank Black, aka Black Francis (not to be confused with Frances Black). The Pixies frontman has produced the LA singer-songwriter’s new self-titled album, which will be released on 28 September.

The first track from it has emerged. Called “Precious Stone”, it’s something of a rousing alt-rock number – seems a bit sub-Springsteen but it will still be interesting to hear what the pair come up with for the rest of the record.

You can get a free download of the song if you go here and tweet about the track. Alternatively you can listen to it below.
