After a number of different releases and years of touring, Montclair, New Jersey’s Pinegrove have offered their finest work to date with their newest LP, Cardinal. The band’s captivating blend of indie rock, pop and country elements is more vivid, fine-tuned, and addictive than ever before. Vocalist/guitarist Evan Stephens Hall and drummer Zack Levine (drums) form a core that has been playing together since early childhood. Painting his emotions onto these songs with colorful and kinetic strokes, Hall moves through Cardinal’s eight songs with unforgettable energy and passion, with a vocal performance that is pleasantly reminiscent of Will Oldham and Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch. The band are playing a few UK shows , plus this newly released track, it’s a new song from the new batch of tracks that we just recorded. we don’t have any more official info to give u on those recordings right now but we can tell u that they are finished & ready & we are really proud & as a celebration we are releasing one song. it’s called intrepid. one of the things these new songs explore is the emotional & creative experience of geometric space. this song in particular considers distance, the outer rim of the magnet’s pull. how the size of the world can bring our personal relationships into focus.
We’re offering Cardinal and the rest of our catalogue up for ‘pay what you want’ & donating all the proceeds to Southern Poverty Law Center. Please give what you can.
