INTERVIEW WITH SATELLITE TRAIN

“Paralyzed” is an emotionally charged alternative pop/rock track that explores themes of isolation and the search for connection. Featuring tribal drums and atmospheric textures, the song builds from introspective verses to a powerful chorus, capturing the struggle of feeling unheard and unseen.

(•)> What first got you into music?

All the band members started young and have had a lifelong connection to music. That early passion is something we all share, even if our paths into music were a little different.

(•)> What’s your favorite album of all time?

We come from different musical backgrounds. For some of us it’s jazz or blues, for others it’s alternative or indie, so our favorites would probably surprise you. Personally, Fiona Apple’s Tidal stands out. That album really left a mark on me.

(•)> What record from the 2020s do you replay the most?

Honestly, I personally don’t listen to full albums much anymore. I tend to go for playlists or dive into genres instead. Even though our band still focuses on making full thematic albums, it feels like the music world has shifted more toward singles and curated mixes.
 
(•)> What should the Pigeon listen to next?
 
We have a special release coming soon called “James Dean”. We were honored to get permission from his family to put it out. We’re pressing a limited vinyl version and sending them a copy. The track came out really strong and gives a taste of the sound we’re developing for our third album, which will be out next year.
 
 (•)> What memorable answers have you had to your work so far?
 
Some of the most memorable reactions come from people telling us that our songs helped them through something personal. When someone says a lyric or melody stuck with them long after hearing it, that kind of feedback really means a lot to us.
 
(•)> Who is your inspiration when creating music?
 
A lot of our inspiration comes from personal experience. Emotions, moments, relationships. Our most meaningful songs are the ones that come from the heart, and that’s usually when the music connects with people the most.
 
(•)> Which film do you rewatch the most?
 
I don’t rewatch a lot of films lately. These days it’s more about series. “Severance” really stood out, and Silo was another one that grabbed my attention.
 
(•)> How is your perfect day?
 
A perfect day would be a mix of creativity and connection. Spending part of it writing or recording music, or playing live, and the rest with friends or family. Maybe a walk, a meal together, or just something simple outdoors. That balance is what makes it perfect.
 
(•)> Will you tell us something embarrassing about you?
 
One time we borrowed a drum machine from another band to add a part in the studio. During the session, the power cut out, and somehow all of their pre-programmed drum tracks were wiped. We didn’t realize until later, and unfortunately, they had a huge show coming up where they really depended on that backing. It was completely unintentional, but still incredibly embarrassing.
 
 (•)> Do you sing in the shower? If yes, what’s the setlist?
 
Not at all. I’m not the singer in the band, and honestly, no one wants to hear me sing out loud. In my head maybe, but that’s where it stays.
 
 (•)> What’s your Hot Take – your most controversial music opinion?
 
I’m not sure how controversial it is, but I think independent artists deserve a lot more visibility. A lot of major artists have teams of writers, big budgets, and massive publicity machines behind them. That’s led to a lot of repetition in mainstream music. There’s way more creativity happening in the indie scene. We’ve got a couple of albums coming this year that push into new concepts, and I hope more artists get the space to do the same.
