The Pigeon Detectives unveil new single 'Summer Girl'

With their long-awaited new album now less than a month away, The Pigeon Detectives have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Summer Girl' follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Lovers Come And Lovers Go' and 'Falling To Pieces' in previewing their sixth LP 'TV Show', which is out on the 7th July via Dance To The Radio.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Matt Bowman said, "I wrote this song about me and my wife's lock down experience. She'd recently had a kidney transplant and couldn't leave the house for fear of death! For a year the closest she came to the outside world was smoking out of the window of our house (blowing out the window) and I really don't know how she coped. The situation also took a toll on me and at times I felt like I couldn't breathe, resorting to periods of self-medicating to cope, which is covered in the second verse of the song. The main line of the chorus "Summer Girl" is my shoutout to my wife as she hadn't left the house for over 12 months and then plucked up the courage to go to Leeds Festival (in the summer!) and start to rebuild her confidence and enjoy life again. The Euphoric "Summer Girl" section at the end is tribute to how proud I was of her for surviving lock down and she really was my Summer Girl that year."
