Electronic Producer/ Performer ‘Amongst The Pigeons’ is back with a brand new single ‘The Monsters Are Hiding In Plain Sight’.

Sussex based Amongst The Pigeons has teamed up with singer-songwriter and poet Alice Hale (With Sun) on this spoken-word electronica track, taken from the forthcoming EP ‘Why Does It Matter If We Hear Each Other’.

The two met when they played on the same bill at a gig in Summer 2021. After the gig, Daniel asked Alice if she’d like to collaborate – this track is the result. 

It features Amongst The Pigeons trademark beats, bass and synth soundscapes, overlayed with Alice’s spoken voice.

The new EP also features Helefonix, Helen Whale from Lines of Flight and Dirt Lane Cocktail Party.

The single is out on 15 July 2022 on all digital/ streaming platforms via Peace & Feathers. The full EP follows on 29 July 2022.

Song Snippet of me singing but its slowed down a lot

While we generally tend to try and improve our deeds and actions during Elul, we sometimes tend to forget a key element of it all. Doing tshuvah for feeling that life itself is a given. When we start from this angle, our asking for חיים when the new year approaches takes on a whole new meaning.

An Unexpected Approach to Tshuvah - Rabbi Shlomo Katz

Ørumari
The only one in the room thinking harder than me is me
I don't wear rubbers, rubbers killed my ancestors
Turn your hardest worker to a light worker
I don't even (teeth).. I let the light merk ya

Light skin brown boy
Neighbour with the loud noise
Got my big brown hard dick up in your amoi
Oh that shit got your attention?
Hmm, I'm in your mentions?
Well.. Fuck you!
And fuck a verse, I'm the one.
I will pull up in a saga and crash in your mansion
Rubber tapper flow, terlebih ajar bro
Tara tiao.

Malay privilege got your abang longs acting like a bitch
Oh! sensitive
I bet you callin all your connections to sensor this
I bet you all your favorite rappers thinkin this a diss
I bet you tryinna figure out which hood I represent
Bitch I'm the man, I don't even need a gang
I go bang, Tu! tu! tu! tu!
My self. I don't need a deal
Been doin it myself
I've been in the stu been thinkin bout your wealth
Ada orang gaji but you still need help, mm mh
That's just sad
Started singing on your tracks
Well that's too bad
I don't need to make commercially viable raps
I got industry rappers in my own studio for that, mm mh
Is that too rad?
Well I don't give a fuck bitch, guess who's back?
Hear the freedom in my speech everytime I yap
The only time I'd give a fuck if your bitch ass too fat.

A moment of silence
This shit is violent
History in the making
Ha ha ha ha ha

Bitch you so pussy you trying to be an alleycat
Lying like your numbers
Kerajaan rappers
Make a malay song just to get airplay rappers
Bumi Putrans turn Bumiputra rappers
Bad actors, Era dick suckers
AIM winners with no aim in life rappers
Old ass, washed up, fucced up rappers
Buka kedai dobi ah! You Malay-washed rappers
Self service, yea! asyik layan diri mafuckers
Always under the influence, high rappers
Born arogara nak anugerah rappers

Gorgeous
Taste the apple orchard
Bit the forbidden fruit now I’m feeling hella nauseous
I keep it hella cautious when chillin’ with a Goddess
Ridin’ in a porsche all I feel is hella horses

Freestyle play, man, I don’t do no pauses
You still in da office, checkin’ on the Forbes list
Checkin’ out for causes you don’t know what the source is
Plant a freakin’ idea grow it like a florist

Imma "Just Do It”, I don’t need endorses
I don’t need to rap to tell you I am important
I don’t double tap and scrolling is hella poison
Every single fact expires and happens often

I put that on my momma till I’m sleepin’ in a coffin
Yeah I smoked a joint with my momma and we coughin'
Laughin’, blessings, feel like sunday mornings
Hardly feel the hate when its Love you’re adorned in
Amen.

Na, na, na, nothin' real can be threatened
Nothin’ unreal exists, nothin’ unreal exists
I, I, I, I, I, I
I always knew I was a prophet/profit
but I couldn’t find a decent job

Million In A month- lil uzi vert.  Skip to 1:00

need no help

In “Lil Girl,” I’m speaking directly to you. I see the pain you’re carrying, even when you try to hide it. I know how deeply you loved someone who didn’t know how to love you back, and this song is my way of reminding you that you were never the problem.

I’m here to tell you that love should not break you, silence you, or make you doubt your worth. You don’t have to hold onto something that only caused you pain. Walking away doesn’t mean you failed, it means you chose yourself.

This song is my voice when you’re hurting, steady and honest. It’s not about anger or blame, but about clarity, healing, and knowing when to let go. What you lost wasn’t love. It was a lesson. And I’m here to help you remember who you are.

🌻
