Woodpigeon

Great Great Great ！ 用三个都难以形容他们的音乐。Woodpigeon ，8个人的乐队，是一只很和谐，和平衡的加拿大乐队，组建于加拿大的艾伯塔省(Alberta) 卡尔加里市(Calgary)，Calgary是一个干净漂亮的城市，Calgary有着“清澈流动的水”的意思，艺人Sufjan Stevens也十分钟爱这个城市，常去旅游。这样美丽的城市出来的Woodpigeon，也同样有着美丽的声音，4男4女的搭配，让人看了即温馨又羡慕，很和谐的8个人。乐队以男声作为主导，Mark hamilton 做为主唱，其他女声作为合唱，乐队中除了俩名以外成员几乎都参与演唱和合声。动听的旋律，柔和美妙的演唱，除了主要乐队外，还有那些让人能够发出迷音的乐器，打击乐器，手风琴，长笛等。还有那有阅读性的歌名和歌词，一首首歌曲就像一个个围绕着8个人的小故事被他们编织起来，通过音乐这种方式来讲述，传达给听者。

kenna + daren also keep busy in the brenda vaqueros. this makes them members of both calgary's loudest and quietest bands.
aj's ladybird is stunning – jazz standards done pretty as you like.
arran fisher is most commonly recognized as that dude with the double-neck guitar from summerlad. we're still trying to find ourselves a double-neck mandolin/banjo to do some s-lad covers, but the search is proving itself hard-going. he's also one of the best producers going. hands-down. check out his studio acoustikitty, and then make a record with him.
joe kelly is one of our favourite artists. also: mark's favourite film is by him, a series of burning doll heads thrown at the ground set to death metal.
bryce from vitaminsforyou is one of our best musical friends. he's done a couple of top remixes for us, so we'll soon be filling dancefloors quicker'n you can say "vitaminsforyou".
make sure you get aquainted with sandro's music too. polmo polpo and glissandro70 are absolutely amazing.
and lest we forget, our friends remote-kid. we've split a 7" with them, on which we wrote a tune and they responded to it on the flipside. it's awesome. (now buy one. there's only 200...).
