Pigeon John - Dragon Slayer
(CD/Digital) Quannum USA 2010-10-12, Other Tongues Australia 2010-11-19, Elektriks Collection/Discograph France 2011-03-07

Los Angeles-based indie rapper/singer/songwriter/rocker and funny man Pigeon John is back with Dragon Slayer, out in the US via Quannum Projects, and to be released in France through Discograph on march 7th 2011. Dragon Slayer follows up the critically acclaimed Pigeon John…And The Summertime Pool Party and houses the signature Pigeon John humor and witty rhymes, but with more rock and pop sounds. With the aid of keyboard wonder General Elektriks' Hervé Salters, Pigeon John produced the whole record, including, for the first time, recording and chopping up his own instrumentation rather than just flipping samples and banging on an MPC. We'll do a mix about the man in the coming weeks, in order to introduce those who still haven't heard him to the cool sounds of Pigeon John...

Pigeon John & The Summerpool Party

Pigeon John - And The Summertime Pool Party
(CD/LP) Quannum Projects QP066, 2006-09-12

Review :
THAT's what I call an album!! After missing a series of albums due to lack of time and money, "Pigeon John Is Clueless" (2002), "Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister" (2003) and "Pigeon John Sings The Blues" (2005), I finally tried the new one with the smily yellow cover, the one saying "buy me I'm cool" graphically, the one called "Pigeon John & The Summertime Pool Party"...
That was a good move.
This is fresh classic hip hop, in the vein of the Gnarls Barkley album with an added californian flavor to balance the lack of singing prowess only Cee-Lo can perform.
This is West Coast Outkast music, smashing hip hop with the Beatles ("Weight Of The World", "As We Know It"), De La Soul-styled humor and Harry Belafonte melodies ("Lost My Job Again") with party anthems like the huge "Freaks Freaks" or the swinging "Higher", upbeat pop ("Brand New Day") with hip hop nostalgia ("Growin' Old").
One of the hip hop albums of 2006 for all the b-boys and b-girls. (check my list).
