September 21, 2010 // Toronto, ON – Calgary, Alberta’s Woodpigeon spent the summer in the fields, woods and meadows but is set to emerge with the coming of autumn. Fans can find BALLADEER / to all the guys i’ve loved before in stores on vinyl and digitally online, along with a new digital EP, Our Love is as Tall as the Calgary Tower today. BALLADEER was originally only available as a bonus CD included with Woodpigeon’s critically acclaimed third album, Die Stadt Muzikanten, released this past February.

BALLADEER was recorded in Calgary and a hotel room in Dublin, and completed last autumn while principle songwriter, Mark Andrew Hamilton was in Banff, Alberta, working with three highly respected producers - Steve Albini, Howard Bilerman and Husky Hoskulds. The resulting twelve beautifully crafted and intimate songs features collaborations with England’s Beth Jeans Houghton, Montreal’s Witchies and Scotland’s Eagleowl. The Calgary Tower EP features a cover of Withered Hand’s “No Cigarettes”, remixes of “Empty-Hall Sing-Along” by Dead Edits and the title-track, “Our Love is as Tall as the Calgary Tower” by Montag, plus a brand new track, “Hove Beach”. In addition Woodpigeon is premiering the video for “Our Love is as Tall ad the Calgary Tower”, directed by Darren Pasemko, here.
