Frank Black is Pixies frontman Frank Black's first solo album. It was released in 1993. It is quite similar in theme and style to the last '80s/'90s Pixies recordings found on the album, Trompe le Monde, featuring, as they both do, a large amount of synthetics and a focus on themes such as UFOs/science fiction.
The album features lead guitar by former Pixies Joey Santiago and extensive production and keyboard work from Eric Drew Feldman, who also played keyboards on the Pixies' Trompe le Monde. Fans have variously referred to the self-titled album as the "orange" or "yellow" album.
Like the Pixies discography, the album was released by 4AD.
