Basia Bulat w/ Woodpigeon

Basia Bulat always seemed destined to make great music. By the age of three she was playing piano and throughout her childhood spent endless hours accompanied by her brother on drums, this perhaps explains the distinct sense of play that suffuses all of her work. Basia's hooks and handclaps create a soundtrack that's perfect for mischievous shenanigans, with live performances often ending with half of the audience on stage and joining in. As Basia herself has said, her music isn't about songs you can sing along to, it's about songs you want to sing along to.  

Woodpigeon is more than just the most beautiful word in the English language, although that's precisely why it was chosen by songwriter Mark Hamilton as the moniker for his pretty-pretty-pop project. Encompassing a kind of ersatz collective orchestra, dispersed across a couple continents, rising and falling in number with the demands of song life and real life, Woodpigeon creates music much the same way a bowerbird crafts a lovenest: the right space is chosen and the bower goes up twig by twig, berry by berry, embellishing a basic construction that's already sound and lovely.
