Formed in 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island by J. Ryan (singer / keyboards), John MacLean (guitar), Peter Phillips (guitar), Chris Dixon (bass) and Rick Pelletier (drums), Six Finger Satellite quickly signed to Sub Pop for the ‘Weapon’ EP, which got them their deal, despite being a tongue-in-cheek take on the then-current grunge / alt-rock sound. Following ‘Weapon’, the band quickly jumped into making their debut full length with Bob Weston (of Shellac, who later named a single ‘The Bird Is the Most Popular Finger’ in honour of Six Finger Satellite). Released in 1993, ‘The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird’ was the first release to truly capture the adventurous, biting spirit and sound of Six Finger Satellite. The album is a landmark of noisy, distressing post-punk, drawing influence from Gang of Four, The Birthday Party and Wire, while adding a healthy dose of the band’s own unique sonic antagonism. Amongst the brittle rock tracks, ‘The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird’ has dashes of ahead-of-their-time keyboard and studio experiments that became more prominent on the band’s later albums, presaging LCD Soundsystem, DFA Records, and much of the early-2000s post-punk revival. Pitchfork rightly called ‘The Pigeon Is The Most Popular Bird’ “one of the best noise-rock records of the 90s,” writing that “the transitions from silly to searing highlight Six Finger Satellite’s unpredictable and caustic approach… this was the first of several examples of them spurning underground trends, and their most exhilaratingly bitter pill to swallow.” Double LP pressed on Loser Edition red and blue coloured vinyl.
