Rebecca Pidgeon is songwriter, guitarist, singer and actress who released her twelfth album Unillusion on August 29, 2025 via Toy Canteen Records. Pidgeon’s most recent albums have been layered and lushly produced With the new record she took a different approach to the composition and recording for a more intimate feel and minimal sound sources, mostly acoustic guitar and her typically expressive and finely inflected vocals. When discussing the material for the forthcoming album with longtime producer Fernando Perdomo he encouraged her to watch episodes of the MTV Unplugged series and the spontaneous energy and eminently human scale of those performances seemed to suit her vision for the album. Working with a group of musicians including Perdomo, Andy Struder on violin and viola, Eszter Balint also on violin and Matt Tecu on drums, Pidgeon naturally on guitar, the songs came together with stories and poetic themes from the mythical to the poignantly personal. The music has a raw quality but that is inviting and embraces you with the songwriter’s unique narratives and emotional nuance.
