Hawaii/London-based singer-songwriter buster and the pigeons today releases his new single ‘mountains and molehills’, out via self-release on 31st January.
On the track buster says: “When I was in year 8 I remember one morning I got talking to this bloke at the train station and he told me how he sat on a train for 50 hours a month, to go to a job that he hated doing. I decided on that day that I wouldn’t ever do that, I’ve still yet to write a CV. HOWEVER as time has gone I’ve realised just how difficult it is surviving as an artist, being an artist is easy, you just create your ideas, but actually sustaining it while battling nepotism, bad luck, empty promises, nasty people (good muses though) and broken boilers is treacherous. I sometimes wonder if the bloke at the train station had it right; until I get on a commuter train, and then I happily go and play with my sh*t end of the stick. That’s what the song is about.”

Buster took the cover art himself, like all of his artworks. He shot a short film for the music, which uses a metaphorical job ladder, shown as a muddy hill which he is climbing up and sliding down, not giving up even though there isn’t any real achievement .
Buster and the Pigeons make music for the anti-paying for blue tickers, anti-synthetic, pro-sympathetic, have asked themselves big scary questions and not been happy with their own answers. For fans of The Streets, Blaze Foley, Zach Bryan, Jack Johnson, Lou Reed, Idles, Adrianne Lenker and Fontaines DC.
