Pigeon Pit Leash Aggression

Leash Aggression is the second full-length Pigeon Pit LP of 2025. In January, they released Crazy Arms, which saw the group apply their expansive collage approach sonically, weaving field recordings of birds and laughter into a dense lyrical landscape further augmented by cello and electric guitar. On Leash Aggression, a contrast of bare-bones instrumentation lets the songs speak for themselves while showcasing their maturity as a live band. It’s their most explicitly political record to date, and Oleander’s songwriting acts as immersive world-building where possibility is more than science fiction. She proposes “love for humanity, rather than fear of certain futures, as a political motivator” and “hope as an invitation to act in the face of bleakness, instead of something made impossible by it.”
There’s no slow build up to this one. Leash Aggression is available everywhere immediately via Ernest Jenning Record Co.
