PIGEON PIT - Crazy Arms - LP - Vinyl [JAN 17]

LP - Limited Edition 

Crazy Arms is the 4th LP by Olympia, WA country/punk maximalists Pigeon Pit, and their first since becoming a nationally touring 6-piece band. It's a is a melodic call to action for folks who listen to both The Weakerthans and CRASS. A night at the Ryman on slow-burn psychedelics and the dreams you choose to think out loud at sunrise. Crazy Arms is the sound of a band hitting their stride, comfortable in the chaos, letting you know you aren’t alone.

“The terror breathes beside me: another little act of sabotage” – “Run Your Pockets”

As front-woman Lomes Oleander tells it: "It’s last call for nuance before we all get put against the wall so I’ll just cheers to the human spirit: we’re all fucked up and crazy people. let’s get wild with it and love our humanity while we can, all our contradictions and flaws that make us real. this is a bunch of love songs for how fucked up we are, and how beautiful it is how we try anyway. how we struggle every day to change our shared reality, to produce a world around us that makes sense to us. when you see a genocide unfolding on your phone, see fascism and AI swallowing up reality, and you force yourself to push it down and not respond to your humanity inside you that calls you to intervene, when it feels like there’s nothing you can do, that’s what kills the human spirit. because that force of love and cooperation is humanity, that’s what makes sense inside of us. giving a shit is the unpopular opinion. i’m just writing about what it feels like for me to try to hang on in a world that’s trying to kill the human spirit."

"Dilapidation's on the inside, a city choking out the night sky. It's gonna be another late night: whatever makes you feel alive." – “Keys to The City”
