Hello & welcome. this recording marks a record of the recent past when people could gather together by the hundreds. I also see it as a note from a future where people will gather & applaud again. the crisp percussive clatter of all those hands, people chatting to their friends or people they just met, going “woo,” singing along—it’s very surreal & nearly heartbreaking to hear now, the tapping dents & divots of rain against my bedroom window, skylit & glowing overcast tonight. it’s a sideways smile hearing so many people together but a smile nonetheless. & singing all in the first person! the first person plural? what should we call this? grammar has generously bent open for us to make room for something momentary we might call “the communal i.” —a line of people, their singing heads in the tungsten floating sweetly over their shoulders, shoulder to shoulder, singing stretched-out vowels in unison, affirming together our collective intent to try to be better to ourselves, to those we know, & to those we don’t know. thank you to anyone who came to these concerts! thank you to anyone listening now. we appreciate you all so much & look forward to playing music again for you soon. <& stay safe, much love. Evan Stephens Hall

Pinegrove are one of those bands with many talented songwriters in the mix, though Evan Stephens Hall is the one who gets the spotlight in that lineup. Thus, his bandmates channel their own inspiration into other projects. Nandi Rose Plunkett has impressed us with her project Half Waif, and now Sam Skinner is releasing his own debut EP. Danny Through Junior is a batch of drowsy, shambling indie rock tunes with intriguing arrangements and immense charm.

All songs written, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Sam, with additions from:
Evan Stephens Hall – vocals (tracks 1, 2), drums (tracks 1, 2, 4)
Natasha Jacobs – vocals (tracks 2, 4, 5)

Danny Through Junior is out 1/27 on Soft Speak Records.
