Austin Town Hall

Back in December, I shared with you guys a new pop-folk song called “Red Rover, Red Rover” from Woodpigeon that really got me excited for the band’s upcoming album.  Well now the band are giving away this new song “Edinburgh” that’s sort of going in a different direction from what we’ve already heard from the band.  It’s still primarily a folk song at it’s core, but it has more of a full sound than what I’m used to from the band.  Here’s to hoping for more of the same when the band release their new album Thumbtacks + Glue on February 26th.

I’ve definitely posted about Woodpigeon in the past, and their brand of mellow type folk rock has always been something I’ve found interesting.  This new track “Red Rover, Red Rover” is no different really.  It’s a pop folk style number similar to something you might hear from Matt Pond PA.  You could call it folk I suppose, but it also has some really great pop elements about it.

Woodpigeon have a new album entitled Thumbtacks + Glue coming out on February 26th.

Here is a beautiful new number from Canadian based outfit Woodpigeon called “For Paulo”.  I discovered these guys a couple years ago when they sent me some music and I’ve fallen for them ever since.  This new song appears on a new digital only EP from the group entitled For Paulo of course.  A video for this song has actually been available for a little while, but this is the first I’m hearin’ of it… Imagine that!  Watch the Woodpigeon bandcamp site around January 24th when the entire EP becomes available for purchase and download.

Candian indie rockers Woodpigeon are returning in 2010 with much anticipated release Die Stadt Muzikantan (“that musical city”? My German is not good).  To preview this upcoming album, the band has released this much easier to pronounce single “Empty-Hall Sing-Along”.  I dare you to get that melody/chorus out of your head after you’ve given this one a few spins.  Woodpigeon’s new album will be out January 12th on Boompa Records.
