Pixies' singer/guitarist Frank Black announces he's writing new songs

This is already a few weeks old, but recently, legendary alternative rock band's frontman Frank Black, also known as Black Francis, announced on a microbloging service that he was off for a while, writing new songs. Immediately fans started thinking about a possible new Pixies album, but it is not known if Mister Black has this band in mind, or his solo career instead. The band reunited some years ago and has, since, been touring intensively.
