  • Notes: Album number 5. Artwork by Elyron. Woodpigeon continues to refine and expand upon his sound with Thumbtacks and Glue, recorded in Calgary, Alberta with producer Arran Fisher and mastered by Ryan Morey. Known for his stunning and heart-wrenching orchestral pop, this 10 song album shows off Hamilton at his most diverse, from “Children Should Be Seen And Not Heard” crunching guitar and “As Read In The Pine Bluff Commercial” pure pop to the delicacy of “Little Wings” and the bitter sting of “Robin Song”. This is the sound of a songwriter just hitting his stride.
