Wringing plenty out of just five songs on this EP, Woodpigeon take a small yet evocative, effective and sometimes wonderful step out from under the shadow of their influences.

Das ist nun nicht gerade ein schmeichelnder Titel für eine neue EP: “For Paolo” heißt das neue Werk von dem kanadischen Musikerkollektiv Woodpigeon aus Calgary. Das klingt nicht nach Neubeginn, sondern nach bösem Ende, nach Abschied. Doch die EP, das vor allem davon erzählt, wie es sich anfühlt, wenn die Liebe gegangen ist, ist etwas ganz [...]

C’est une brèche dans le temps qui s’ouvre alors que je regarde les images de Mark Hamilton, alias Woodpigeon, effleurant sa guitare. C’était en mars de l’an dernier, me semble-t-il, [...]

Riding on the coattails of their January LP release Die Stadt Muzikanten , Calgary’s Woodpigeon is releasing Spirehouse , a modest companion to the more impressive LP from which its title track is taken. This five-track set features two versions of ‘Spirehouse,’ a song which is a prime example of the trademark vocal harmonies at the forefront of Woodpigeon's act and a positive standout from the LP. The EP opens with the original version, for which the band has recently released a music video, and closes four tracks later with a slightly altered remix by Shipshapen, which features the addition ...

For Paolo is the latest effort from Calgary’s Woodpigeon, and for it, the listeners get everything they would expect from the harmony-rich band. The flip side to that coin is that they don’t really get anything they wouldn’t expect either. The record opens and closes with two different versions of the title track. The first is a full instrumental effort and is a typical Woodpigeon tune. An interesting and hypnotizing musical arrangement coupled with the bands trademark vocal harmonies picks up right where their previous effort left off. The acoustic closer, which really doesn’t remain acoustic ...

Recent pickings aplenty in the For The Sake Of The Song headquarters, so let's not waste any precious time. First up: the Owsley Brothers, doing that dirty garage blues thingy very well. Rotten On The Vine is a teaser for their new album Cobalt , out in March. Can't wait, guys. On now to our Canadian pals from Woodpigeon. Love some of their tunes, while others strangely enough leave me cold somehow. This time I'm in luck, as the dreamy title track of their recent ep For Paolo definitely falls in the former category. Owsley Brothers - Rotten On ...

The super sounds of vintage AM (before it became a den of deviants, news readers, preachers and conspiracy theorists) were always a staple sound in every family trip we took from Mexico City to Tampico. Not only was the music always soothing enough to feel pop, but it always had this extra bite, whether a [...]

Lithe indie pop aims to emulate cassettes in mom and dad's car

Calgary's Woodpigeon (aka Mark Andrew Hamilton) has a busy year lined-up.  He's got two full length albums ready to go, but he kicks it all off on January 24th with the release of the EP For Paolo . The title track is beautiful, melodic, and mellow.  That makes the bookend cut, "For Paolo (Acoustic)" even more remarkable since a tweak in the presentation makes for an entirely new vibe, this one eerie. The songs can be hard to penetrate from time-to-time however.  With a song like "By Lamplight" it feels as though the nooks and crannies have been plastered ...

by teepoo Woodpigeon – For Paolo from Boompa Records on Vimeo. I felt like it’s been forever since Woodpigeon released something. There’s finally an EP coming on January 24th, 2012. Kicking it off will be For Paolo and here’s a black and white video filmed for it. I’m liking what I hear so far.
