Shut Up for Five Minutes and Let Terror Pigeon! Bring the Party to Your Heart

Their song "Girl" sounds like eight different songs that are all a good time.

If we may peel back the curtain on music blogging for a second: We get a lot of music submissions every day here at Noisey. A LOT. So many that it’d probably make you straight up puke on your own shirt were you ever to gaze upon our inboxes. Most of the stuff we get is from publicists who get paid to spam us all day. Once a month, we open the floodgates and let people send us whatever they want for 30 minutes. That should give you a pretty good idea of the nonsense that’s considered reviewable music. But every once in a while, when the moon is just right, we get something that makes all the garbage we sift through worthwhile. Take Terror Pigeon! for example. The Nashville weirdo party collective (formerly known as Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!) sent us their forthcoming album Live It Up Before You Die It Up! We listened to their song “Girl” and instantly replayed it 1,400 times in a row. It is so goddamn catchy and anthemic, but with absolutely no song structure whatsoever. It sounds like they snipped out pieces of eight different half-finished songs and mashed them all together until they kinda fit (but not really). So prepare to go through a wide range of emotions on “Girl,” all of which wind down to one ultimate conclusion: party.

Live It Up Before You Die It Up! (which could not be any more of an appropriate title by the way) is out on September 26 and you can get more info at their seizure-inducing website. Play “Girl” below and let the party overtake you.
