Pigeon Pit, have shared new single “Keys To The City,” the track is off the Washington State’s forthcoming album Crazy Arms, available January 17th via Ernest Jenning Record Co (Savak, Beauty Pill). The band’s front-woman Lomes Oleander says,“Keys To The City is about being a part of the living flesh of the city, having fun in sketchy ways, the ways that make you feel real and excited to go out at night.”

Crazy Arms marks the band’s first release since becoming a nationally touring 6-piece band. It’s 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. The album’s message is to let you know you aren’t alone.

“We recorded Crazy Arms in my friend Vivienne’s basement, all analog onto a 1/2” tape through a 4-track, so it’s mostly live tracks, which is really fun. You can’t dub over a bunch of instruments or redo individual parts when you mess up. We dragged this piano across town in a van and squeezed it into her basement. It wouldn’t fit into the studio so I ended up playing the piano from the basement with all the mics and wires running out of the studio space. Working with all these insane restrictions forces you to get creative and gives the thing you’re working on a sort of living character. It gets fucked up through the process, like a kid becoming a person. It’s more country than the last one, it’s more pop punk, it’s more experimental, it’s more of everything. I’m just having fun with my friends. I couldn’t have any favorite songs, but there’s a song that Maddy (banjo, vocals) wrote on it, which is just so special to me and her voice is so unique and devastating.”
