Pigeons Pigeons Pigeons

You can’t quite put your finger on Pigeons. That just sounds funny. But really, this nearly punk, mostly folk, Americana, noisesque trio seems to befit so many off-kilter adjectives that click just-so with their latest release The Talking Wire (which you can download for free at their Bandcamp). Violin peppers a wall of guitar and gleefully strained vocals that walk the fence between yelling what for what it’s worth and just plain sincerity across the album, giving in only for moments of plucked strings and sneaking piano notes, which makes you want to scream along with the best of ’em. Catch these birds the next time you see  them flyin’ about town.
