Pigeon are different. While their music wouldn't be out of place in a nightclub, their blend of electronica and pop is bringing a fresh element to what can at times be a repetitive genre.

“So many bands are just either the same kind of set up or people get stuck behind their computers in that kind of post Flume producer thing. So yeah [there] definitely [was] an element of ‘cool, you know no one's really doing it’,” says bassist Chris Paget about the group’s use of saxophone.

“It's super cheesy and we know it's super cheesy, but I guess that's half the appeal.”

With Pigeon building a solid fanbase, particularly with Triple J’s Unearthed charts, Chris says the group wants to avoid a cookie-cutter mentality with their music.

“I think it's hard not to kind of write something like, ‘oh, you know, we should probably keep it like this, that's what Triple J like’, and we've actually been really conscious not to get sucked into that world. It can happen to a lot of people where they're writing for that kind of world.

We've always tried to do what we want in that sense. Just do it and see how it turns out you know? There's five of us so there's five different opinions. By the time we bounce all the opinions around the guys, in that sense it's really doing what we want to do and hoping that people like it, and we've been pretty lucky that people kind of think, ‘you know what, it's pretty cool, keep going’.

Following the debut of their first EP ‘Parallels’ at number six in the iTunes charts and the stellar sophomore effort, ‘Fortunes’, new single ‘Curtain Call’ ushers in a darker, heavier sound for Pigeon.

“I think it is definitely the heaviest and even the darkest track we've ever done. I guess it's exploring, lyrically as well, something that's a little bit darker and melodically trying something along those lines. It's exciting — we haven't done something like that so far.”

Pigeon play Oh Hello Aug 30 before returning with shows at the Cooly Sept 19, Beach Hotel Sept 20 and Solbar Sept 21.
