Pigeons / Liasons

Soft Abuse

Bronx duo PIGEONS wade closer to the edge of ambitious pop provocations with their third LP, Liasons. Here we find the band in the midst of an enormous creative leap; the psychedelic chanson moves of previous releases now cohabit with spacious westcoast art-blues and wistful cosmic folk tunes, invoking Catherine Ribeiro, Brigitte Fontaine, and Opal. Pigeons singular approach to structure, arrangements & production techniques—mirrored by the willful license in spelling Liasons—culminate with WEDNESDAY KNUDSEN & CLARK GRIFFIN lacing their songs with flute, saxophone, echo, drum machines and languid guitar lines. Includes two songs in French, one of which is a take on "Laisse Tomber les Filles" by Serge Gainsbourg. (STREET DATE - 11/23/2010)
