CHOO CHOO is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band led by singer and guitarist Erica Enriquez.
Earlier this summer she released her new single “WHITE PIGEON.” The track channels the raw passion and power of 90s rock anthems with a core emotional build-up and vocal performance. It delivers an old-school sensibility that has elements of artists such as NISA, Snail Mail, and Soccer Mommy. The finale includes a rich set of horns and flourishes that raise the game considerably.
Speaking on the track, Enriquez adds:
Walking down the street one day I wrote down the lyric: I wonder if the white pigeon thinks it’s a dove, guess I’ll keep trying, hoping that it’s enough. I thought about the romance that is associated with doves and how pigeons have a similar resemblance but are not held with the same whimsy. This song is about trying, and grinding, and faking it until you make it. In our music video I wear a handmade pigeon costume and sing into a pickle microphone while dancing with friends and clowns.
