Toronto-based indie rockers The Vaniers are amid a comeback, having just released their new single, “Pigeons,” which sounds like an homage to late ’90s alternative rock but with a brighter pop-folk panache. The song is a carnival of youthful sound and roars with intensity.
The Vaniers infuse crisp guitars, punchy beats, and vibrant vocal delivery with an effortless cool. “Pigeons” locates that exciting rush of young love that’s both shocking and responsibly reckless. The words drift across the melody without effort, describing quick looks, uncashed feelings, and the connection that makes things feel slightly warmer.
What distinguishes “Pigeons” is its bridging between memories and modern-indie craft. Fans of bands like The Strokes and early Coldplay will dig the throwback alternative rock vibes, while the track’s modern folk-pop sensibilities keep it firmly planted in a palette of today.
