Frank Black returns the release of Honeycomb, his first solo effort since 1996"s The Cult of Ray. This heavily country-soaked album was recorded in just four days in Nashville with an impressive backing band. Additionally, it was also days before Frank Black"s commencement of the hugely anticipated Pixies reunion shows of 2004. The mood of this release is relaxed, even mellow at times. Still present though is Black"s quirky lyrics but with a more contemplative air. Back Porch. 2005.
