Leash Aggression

Leash Aggression is the second full-length Pigeon Pit LP of 2025. In January, they released Crazy Arms, which saw the group apply their expansive collage approach sonically, weaving field recordings of birds and laughter into a dense lyrical landscape further augmented by cello and electric guitar. On Leash Aggression, a contrast of bare-bones instrumentation lets the songs speak for themselves while showcasing their maturity as a live band. It’s their most explicitly political record to date, and Oleander’s songwriting acts as immersive world-building where possibility is more than science fiction. She proposes “love for humanity, rather than fear of certain futures, as a political motivator” and “hope as an invitation to act in the face of bleakness, instead of something made impossible by it.”
