Brilliantly illustrated by Alex Eben Meyer, Where Is My Mind? is a celebration of creativity, both in song and story.
Included in Publishers Weekly' s Spring 2021 Children' s Sneak Previews Critical praise for the song "Where Is My Mind? " "Not long before he formed the Pixies, Black Francis went scuba-diving in the Caribbean. Some of the fish chased him around the ocean. The experience freaked him out, and "Where Is My Mind? " is a pretty straightforward telling of the incident. The eerie 1whooooo' background vocals were recorded in a bathroom to get that great echo sound. The song took on a new meaning in 1999 when it played over the end credits of Fight Club. That' s where millions of people first heard the song, instantly making it one of the Pixies' most beloved works. " --Rolling Stone
Black Francis, aka Frank Black, was born Charles Thompson IV in 1965 in Boston, MA. He is the lead vocalist and guitarist for the indie rock band Pixies, which he formed in the mid-1980s while attending UMass Amherst. Named one of VH1' s "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock," Pixies disbanded in 1993 after four albums and one EP. Francis continued to have a successful solo career, and in 2004, Pixies reunited for their first tour in more than a decade, playing sold-out shows across North America and Europe. Pixies remain one of the most important bands of the era, having influenced musicians such as Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke, and many others. Alex Eben Meyer (illustrator) lives in Brooklyn, and works in a studio that was formerly a pencil factory. He and his brain have a very nice relationship, and are virtually inseparable. He illustrated the picture books Hero vs. Villain and Creature vs. Teacher.
