Formed in 2010 by childhood friends Evan Stephens Hall and drummer Zack Levine, Pinegrove have released four albums -- Everything So Far, Cardinal, Skylight, and Marigold (2020) -- to widespread critical acclaim, garnering them a growing and devoted listenership. They've described their sound as variously as 'introspective party music', or 'energetic music in the folk tradition'; in any case, they have combined catharsis and inventive structures with irrepressible melodies, resonant lyrics and emotive twang. Zack describes Pinegrove as "a constellation of soulmates." Zack and Evan have known each other for 26 years and been playing music together for 21, communicating via a "telepathic musical connection." Nearly everyone they work with are friends and collaborators from way back. Their most recent release, a live album recorded at the band's previous studio and home, Amperland, NY, features Evan, Zack, Josh Marre, Megan Benavente, Sam Skinner as well as appearances from Nandi Rose, Nick Levine, Michael Levine and Doug Hall. Sam also engineered and co-produced the record, as he has on every Pinegrove recording since 2015.

Pinegrove's new album begins with a breath and ends with a shimmering exhalation. In between is Marigold, an urgent, multivalent meditation--and an expanded take on the blend of alt-country, indie rock and cerebral humanism that's inspired the band's ardent fan community. Marigold marks their Rough Trade Records debut, offering what songwriter Evan Stephens Hall calls a "heart-first" perspective.
Those familiar with Pinegrove will recognize signature elements of the band's sound: literary yet conversational lyrics, geometrically interlocking guitars, the dynamic shifting shadows of rhythm and structure. But this effort marks the most spacious, bold, and well-defined iteration of the project yet.
Formed in 2010 by childhood friends Evan and drummer Zack Levine, Pinegrove have released three previous albums -- Everything So Far (2015), Cardinal (2016), and Skylight (2018) -- to massive critical acclaim, garnering them a widespread and devoted listenership. They've described their sound as variously as introspective party music, or energetic music in the folk tradition; in any case they have combined catharsis and inventive structures with irrepressible melodies, resonant lyrics and emotive twang. Marigold finds the band expanding into the latter, spreading out over varying tempos and swelling pedal steel. But in surprising moments, the album can suddenly unfold into the band's heaviest, most unbound offerings yet--a cavalier disregard of genre in favor of something honest and unique.
