Carrier Pigeon (album)

Carrier Pigeon is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Odie Leigh. It was released on July 12, 2024, through Mom + Pop Music. Produced by Leigh with Derek Ted, the album has been noted as an evolution from Leigh's earlier, sparser folk style, with fuller instrumentation and a sound which Leigh describes as "going from acoustic to this kind of late '90s, early 2000s girl-rock thing."[2]
