about

This mixtape is the result of two years' worth of trial, error, starting, restarting, and learning. If I had to describe what Pigeonrat sounds like, the truth is, I'm still not sure. Some of these came together fairly effortlessly, some took some hammering, and some went completely left field of what orginally envisioned. It's scrappy in some places and overworked in others. But I do hope this is a decent introduction for you all (Hi, I'm Pigeonrat. Nice to meet you!)

Anyway, if I pat my back any more I'm going to break my own arm. These last couple of years sucked. So this one's on me. If you like/love/hate/meh it, let me know. If you use these tracks in anything, definitely send me the end result to check out. If you fuck to it, I offer you a nod of approval and a socially-distanced fist-bump.

XOXO

p.s. Due to licensing concerns, I've had to remove 'Act on Instinct'. But hey, it's available elsewhere I guess.

about

Pigeonrat Sydney, Australia

Pigeonrat is the brainchild of a nerd who watches too many episodes of The Simpsons, listens to way too much Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, and Boards of Canada, and has way too much time on his hands.

If you like either Industrial that kinda goes hard, or the screeching of a 56k modem having a stroke, you've come to the right place. ... more
