Pigeon Pit is a collection of stories wrapped in sunburned skin and a brave heart from a small beach town. They evoke a honky-tonk held in a punk house living room, the Olympia band finds sparks of communal joy while sorting through the stress and grief of daily life offering bittersweet snapshots that stick with you long afterwards. Centered in the now, under a backdrop of rising global fascism and AI battling it out with reality, the band is focusing on how to keep sane and still love and have fun in these dark days. The band went into recording their fifth album, โCrazy Armsโ after the busiest year since their founding. They toured for the first time as a full six-piece, played high-profile gigs, like their first Tiny Desk show, played with Laura Jane Grace, and toured Australia and New Zealand. Despite obvious signs of the bandโs growing popularity, they still tapped into their DIY roots in recording this one, using a friendโs basement as their studio.

Of all the ways for a cult band to rise out of a decade of silence, Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra chose to send their fans on a real life treasure hunt for their new album, โYikes Almightyโ. The album, a calming existential crisis set to childrenโs toy instruments, was dubbed to a single cassette and buried in a cave in the California desert. The band released a cryptic video that serves as the treasure map with the message โif you find it, we will release it.โ
Though the bedroom folk punk outfit has not released music in 11 years, in actuality they have been consistently releasing and touring under their genre-defying umbrella name, Walter Etc. When asked why the band is split into two identities, singer / songwriter Walter himself, Dustin Cole Hayes, responded โmy life is already such a mess, I decided Iโd keep adding to the chaos.โ It is Hayesโs cut-your-own-ear-off artistic sincerity that has made the Walter-verse fertile grounds for such strong lore and cultural myth.
