Purchase the physical edition of the album HERE. WATCH PIGEON PIT TINY DESK SESSION PURCHASE FEATHER RIVER CANYON BLUESON VINYL AND CASSETTE On Feather River Canyon Blues, Pigeon Pit’s Lomes Oleander crafts a world of country duets and inhalants, ghosted plans, lysergic fantasies of chosen families and eyes lit up in porchlight. Oleander’s folk-punk poetry glitters under gas station lights, weaving together themes of grief, codependency, political struggle, gender, self-love and adventure. She tells stories that abandon traditional modes of time and linear narrative to reject a reality that is ever-increasingly defined by work, isolation and detachment. Through the people she loves, she imagines a better place: Kiss your crooked teeth, the trestle of your grin A monument to a world worth living in. Oleander, born in Santa Cruz, California, combines vivid imagery and near-frantic lyrical density in a self-described “journaling of queer survival, trauma and the labyrinth of experience.” Pigeon Pit’s raw, dream-like songs channel Lucinda Williams and the Mountain Goats, played on a well-worn mix tape in a dark alley that sparkles with shattered glass. Oleander’s performances range from solo acoustic to the six-piece country-influenced instrumentation of her first release in five years, Feather River Canyon Blues. The album was digitally self-released on New Year’s Day 2022 and is now being made available on vinyl and cassette via Ernest Jenning Record Co. |
