Pigeon - Outtanational Pigeon

Cosmic exploration. Spiritual transformation. Unbridled
spontaneity. These are the guiding principles of Pigeon, a
psychedelic five-piece rooted in the English seaside town of
Margate, yet making music that transcends borders. Pigeon are
Falle Nioke (vocals, percussion), Graham Godfrey (drums), Josh
Ludow (bass), Steve Pringle (keys, synths) and Tom Dream
(guitar), musicians whose combined credits include Little Simz,
Michael Kiwanuka, SAULT and Saul Williams.
Their debut album, OUTTANATIONAL, is a thrilling collection of
party songs without limits: think William Onyeabor in outer-space
or early Hot Chip making motorik afrobeat in a 70s New York loft.
Building on a string of acclaimed EPs that have been playlisted on
6Music and led to coveted live slots at UK festivals like
Glastonbury, Pigeon have evolved out of Afro-disco territory into
something moodier. It’s an expansive record laced with heady
krautrock, post-punk and punk-funk, indebted to the power of the
groove and questing to find the meaning of home. Pigeon must fly.
