New Website! / New Label! / New Releases!

It’s been a long time coming, but the new Woodpigeon website is finally here! Take a look around – and be sure to download a free copy of our EP Houndstooth, available in the Music section of the site.

We’re also excited to announce our first UK and Euro releases through The End of the Road Records set for early 2008. While at The End of the Road Festival this past fall, we were lucky enough to not only play alongside folks like Yo La Tengo and Lambchop (and, man-oh-man, David Thomas Broughton and Jens Lekman too!), but to also return to Canada as the newest members of one of England’s most exciting musical families.

First up, a 7″ for Songbook’s finale closer ‘That Was Good But You Can Do Better’, backed with the new song ‘Knock Knock’ (featuring our great friends The Neighbourhood Council on backing vocals).

Following shortly behind, Songbook UK featuring all-new artwork by the amazing Sing Statistics!

There’s also a few nice bonuses tucked away inside on the bonus Treasury Library 1: Dewey Does It EP:

01. in the battle of sun vs. curtains, sun loses and we sleep until noon
02. i live a lot of places
03. 7th fret over andres
04. a moment’s peace for mary christa o’keefe
05. anna, girl in the clocktower
06. bad news brown

We’re off to Austin to play SXSW this March, and then a few more dates here and there before heading back overseas for a spell this summer and again in the fall. We hope to meet you all then.

And stay tuned for more! We plan to upload demos, live performances, radio sessions, and whatever else we’ve got laying about to the site as we go.
xox,
W.P.
