With their long-awaited new album ‘TV Show’ set to drop on July 7th through Dance To The Radio, their first in six years, The Pigeon Detectives have now delivered the official video for their recent single “Summer Girl”.
Matching the same bright and glossy appeal of their latest offering, the new visuals for “Summer Girl” highlight the fun and euphoric direction their new record is filled with. While the original song has a far darker narrative threaded throughout, focusing on the lockdown experience of frontman Matt Bowman’s wife, the video instead adds a lighter touch to the track, creating a more uplifting watch from beginning to end.
“Summer Girl” arrived after the previously shared singles “Lovers Come And Lovers Go” and “Falling To Pieces”, which have been supported by Radio X and Absolute Radio 20s, as well as countless DSP playlists around the world.
In anticipation of the release, the band recently visited the pressing plant where the vinyl was recreated Press On Vinyl. Watch what happened HERE and a blooper reel HERE.
Produced by the renowned Rich Turvey (Blossoms, The Coral, Oscar Lang), their new album ‘TV Show’ looks to cement a rebirth within the band’s own legacy. After storming the stage at countless festivals in the summer of 2022, The Pigeon Detectives quickly became one of the more talked about names on the circuit once again, feeding the public’s need for anthemic indie-rock tunes after years of isolation and social distancing.
Speaking about the new album, they said, “Making music together for all these years has been the greatest gift of our lives. This album gives a nod to every step we have taken on the amazing journey we have been on as five scruffy friends from Rothwell, whilst also driving our sound to new, exciting areas. Above all though it is full of absolute bangers and we just can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
To celebrate the release of ‘TV Show’, the band is set to embark on a number of record store show performances across the UK, which are all but sold out, as well as a 13-date tour in November – their fastest-selling tour opening week in over ten years, with a number of venues already sold out, showing the demand to experience The Pigeon Detectives live shows is still raging.
