    It's at once a work of larger ambition and greater focus than its predecessor, beginning brilliantly and continuing in the same manner for its entire length.
  2. Under The Radar

    Pigeons also finds Temple working well with others, the result being an inescapable momentum that begins with the unexpected funk of "Hibernation," one of the many songs that show an intimate understanding of Brian Enpo's Catalogue. [Spring 2010, p.63]

    Like its predecessor, Pigeons is also delicate, but it does much more than shimmer and sound pretty. The rhythm section takes a huge step forward, the arrangements are more varied and robust, and there are countless actual hooks.

    It's harmless, head-spinning fun. [Jul 2010, p.92]

    One of the best (and most underrated) albums of the year. Every composition is dense, beautiful, and intricate yet maintains a light playfulness that blows all this "chillwave" out of the water. I also saw them at bonnaroo, and every song became an awesome jam. Very excited to see what they do next.… Expand

    Every song on this album has so much energy with absolutely stunning musicianship. I can't believe how under the radar this album seems to be, really an extremely under rated album.… Expand
