Featuring Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Pigeonhed is a Seattle-based collaboration between Steve Frisk and the subtle voice of Shawn Smith, but this is no grunge album. Pigeonhed are an experimental act who dabble in everything from electronica, trip hop, lo-fi, and a dash of soul. Hardly metal but for me more rewarding than say Mad Season. This will appeal to those who are avid collectors of anything connected with the grunge era, but musically this drifts along, peppered with mellow vocals. Not a guitar in sight, some may find this too frustrating and moody, it being so laid back with a hint of hip-hop laziness. Alterno indeed, displaying soulful quality and Shawn's touching vocals which made Satchel so endearing. Whilst not essential or even metal, it makes for a nice little breather if this this is your thing. This is the bands debut, two more albums followed.Thursday 3 February 2011
