Liasons is the third Pigeons full-length, following on the heels of Si Faustine (released by Olde English Spelling Bee earlier this year), and 2008's Virgin Spectacle (on Black Dirt). Liasons finds the band in the midst of an enormous creative leap; the psychedelic chanson moves of previous releases now cohabit with spacious westcoast art-blues & wistful cosmic folk tunes, casually invoking Catherine Ribeiro, Brigitte Fontaine, Grim and Opal. Pigeons’ singular approach to structure, arrangements & production techniques - mirrored by the disruptive spelling of Liasons – culminate with Wednesday Knudsen and Clark Griffin lacing their songs with flute, saxophone, echo, drum machines and languid guitar lines. Liasons also includes two songs in French, one of which is a brilliant a take on Laisse Tomber les Filles (by Serge Gainsbourg). Artwork from Mary Nicholson appears throughout. We're now taking pre-orders for Liasons, all of which will ship to arrive before the release date...

Also in time for the tour, we've released a 7" single (Visions of the Valley), pressed in an edition of 200, and have printed up some Pigeons shirts as well. Click here to preview or purchase the single, and click here for shirt info. The band will have plenty of each to sell at their gigs as well...
