A refreshing step into the psychedelic world of Pigeons.
From the album:
Pigeons – They Sweetheartstammers (2011)
Bout the Band and stuff:
Pigeons is Wednesday Knudsen and Clark Griffin, from Bronx, NY. After flirting with lo-fi psychedelic-leaning Francophile pop on their two previous full-lengths, Liasons and Si Faustine (both from 2010), the pair have shifted into more dense, heady modes for their new record, They Sweetheartstammers. Heavy doses of melody & dissonance carry free-form songs like “Lauren” and “Behind the Reeds” into Broadcast and Meddle-era Floyd territory. The more-straightforward “Red Friend” and “Tournoi” offer differing ends of the pop spectrum, with (unconscious) nods to Opal’s Happy Nightmare Baby, Galaxie 500 and Brigitte Fontaine. The sole constant throughout the twists & turns of They Sweetheartstammers is Wednesday Knudsen’s stunning guitar work and distant, plaintive voice.
