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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePigeon 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir debut album,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOUTTANATIONAL\u003c\/em\u003e, is a thrilling collection of partysongs 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’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.
