The
Tin Pigeons are a five-piece indie-folk band from the East-Midlands and as they
release their new EP ‘Sparks’ we got to speak to lead singer, and guitarist,
Fraser, about their music, catching up with them after they had just performed
at Leeds and Reading, a time he described as a lot of fun. “It was quite
special with a lot of memories!”
Describing
the band’s live sound, Fraser chose indie-folk with influences from Bombay
Bicycle Club and Two Door Cinema Club. “It’s quite summery,” he told us,
pointing to those bands as inspirations for the band.
Talking about their new EP Fraser confirmed it was a long time coming. “It took a lot of work. I think it’s quite summery, and it means a lot to us!”
Reception
to the EP has been very positive, something he described as humbling, talking
about the band’s recent appearances on BBC Introducing as brilliant. “It was
really special to be under their wing.”
Talking
about folk music, I was intrigued to know why Fraser thought its popularity was
increasing. “I think it’s just a change to what’s on the radio all the time.
People just want to listen to something different to what’s in the charts.”
The
Tin Pigeons are looking to return to the studio at Christmas to record new
material for a potential new EP, and possibly an album in a year. They also
hope for a new video to go with their next extended play.
Looking
ahead to the next six months, Fraser hopes the band will just keep doing what
they are doing. “Just being able to make music is a lot of fun, so if we can
keep doing that then it’s great!”
