Pigeons Playing Ping Pong have announced their fifth studio record Presto, out Jan. 24, 2020.

Over the last year or so, the quartet has clocked over 200 shows, yet still managed to get into the studio. According to a press release, PPPP’s live shows often informed their work on Presto.

“The crowd is like an equal member of the band at this point,” says Ormont. “We really feed off their response and truly value their input, and we can tell right away what works and what doesn’t from their reaction.”

Previously released singles off Presto include “King Kong” and “Dawn A New Day;” PPPP has also announced the return of their annual Domefest, launched a new foundation and – most recently – scheduled a new batch of tour dates.
