caught up inside our heads we don’t know what we’re doing a smile gets lost and I feel out of tune with everything part of the moment, is a part of me part of the moment, is apart from me it's always this way: everything’s pointless when you’re numb i look into my eyes and say what’s this stuff things will always work out

Summer 02:17
Teeth curve inward on my tongue I invite you to sing along I’ve got a merit badge with your name on it I suppose the grenadine Makes it sweet in times like these I applaud myself for everything little thing The summer in question was long But I had plenty of time to waste I don’t need to be cautious, or thoughtful With the sun shining in my face Everyone I know is beautiful At least it seems that way At least I know that my home Is never that far away Never that far away

Honey 04:41
the riverbank is soft and blue makes me sleep and still undo mellifera inside my chest holding breath, I’m holding my breath turn to the right and start again communicating through my skin something that makes me feel so fine holding breath, I’m holding my breath when I hear it come out of your mouth when I hear it come out, come out mirrored golf cut through dark sky I wait for the storm to pass In parking lots of convenience stores The coastal mix covering my car leaving marks to be regathered shifting axioms breathe and review when I hear it come out of your mouth when I hear it come out, come out

Winter 03:07
calmed down on a walk i said i’m sorry for all of the ways i’ve been its times like these i see why i have come to be your best friend lets go skip stones and hang something came over winter is gone i’m glad that its over let’s move on
5.
Fill my pockets with snow It’s melting wherever I go Flip my tongue upside down And talk out of the wrong side of my mouth I fell on my head I follow my head I fell on my head I throw on the wheel Clay is running under my heels I think I found a part Of something to use for my art This is my favorite part, don't turn it off It reminds me of home I haven’t been there in a while I wonder how they’re getting on I fell on my head I follow my head I fell on my head

there’s always something telling you to do whatever you like life will end and you can waste it caught up in a lie there’s only one thing to do to be true to being you ‘cause the past is glass and you don’t know where you are

Mothlight 04:33

about

Pigtails’ self-titled debut boasts a shimmering, twangy sound; employing warm farfisa organ and lush pedal steel thoughtfully. The result has been described as the soundtrack to a calm before the storm. Producer Raymond Richards (an indie rock veteran who's played with and recorded artists such as Luna, Mojave 3, Acetone, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Parson Redheads) brings out the understated country-rock leanings of the band, while preserving their fondness for bright and gentle pop.

Recorded at Long Play Recording in Portland, OR
Produced and engineered by Raymond Richards
Mastered By Carl Saff

"It feels like being lifted above a lush forest under a gathering gray sky." - Dena Zilber, Flying Fish Cove

"When the guitar solo on closing track 'Mothlight' kicks in, it’s clear that Pigtails can play with anyone, and they’ve got a lot of different directions that they can take their music."- DJ Jonny H, General Manager KAOS 89.3

"When I hear it come out of their mouths,
It’s always in the right room
With the right light.
Olympia has a different sun star than anywhere else,
Some kind of vortex that brings about melodies
like you’re singing in the shower and that’s the way it feels like to sing along to these songs—
The flowing, collective undercurrent that everyone in the room feels: Pigtails finds and provides the shine. I love Pigtails. Listen to Pigtails."
- Laith M.D.
