CreditsPinegrove is a twangy indie band who fuse Americana, emo, and indie rock into an insightful finished product. Singer and lyricist Evan Hall is a contemplative, serene frontman who possesses an intimate relationship with and an expansive knowledge of the human language. He's acutely aware of the human experience and manages to pen astute observations about self and circumstance with genuine wonder. Though sonically somber, there is a kinetic forward focus in Pinegrove's sound that lifts up each unconventional arrangement and unfettered chorus.
Watch and listen to the band performing tracks from their discography here on Audiotree Live.

i'm out there's nothing here to care about what's that sound? what's that song about? it's nothing worth me sayin aloud so then why do i seem to need to? why do i seem to need to?
this is how i spend my life up singin old songs what if i waste my life up? & all my problems it's so stupid they're not even problems it was supposed to snow & it did for a minute but there's no distraction now or we could spend these years up on the phone but is that much better? it was supposed to snow but it didn't so there's no excuses now
i was walkin with my neck out some ways i wish i was was walkin with my neck out in some ways that i wish that i was out on the bevel of sound it sounds like everything else you'll know it when you hear it cuz u know the way my voice felt ignore my tone & everything i sing i sing for me ignore the phone on your bed it rings it rings it rings shirt collar ringin me out & my collar bone got all red & already severing prose i wrote so i sing instead i hold you put your neck out tell me the ways you wish you were keep your confidence sound, your hook my eye my spur so when i went to hang out, i hung behind your eyes but my eyes still flicker with doubt quickly o i cant decide i'm tapped out don't it always seem to go that you could hold it right in your hands collapsing & still not know (your hands' collapse & still not know) say what it is say how it is with everybody i know i've got no temper for that i send you this cadmium red, one for every layer i shed & i shed one layer for thisss say what it is it's so impossible but if i just say what it is it tends to sublimate away when i was looking to drop my life away more every year i shine light on edges i tried to unfeel but we've gotta do better than that some sortin out so i'll be sittin on the outskirts if you wanna talk about it things in there were just gettin so loud say what it is it's so impossible but i just say what it is it tends to sublimate away when i was looking to drop my life away
do you wanna dance? fine but do you remember when in your living room when we made some room & moved ourselves around in it? it's how my heart resumed i got caught/ you got those caravaggio moves we had some good ideas but we never left that fucking room do you wanna talk? fine i’ll talk it out with my dad it's always nice what he says he’ll have some good advice from something in a book he read if i did what i wanted then why do i feel so bad? would you like a drink while we wait for everything to get good again? we’re good at things & so are a lot of our friends we should forget these setbacks & get back movin again i dont know what i’m afraid of but i’m afraid one day it all will fall away maybe i read that but still, let’s see if nothing else it’s an idle curiosity so would you like that drink? fine, yea i know. i remember that too in your living room, right? when we began to fight but then we both got confused then we were laughing & crying in awe of the size of the moon do you want to die? fine you’re right but i wonder what it feels like to stop feelin so alive what if we could wake up in five years & things’d be feelin alright? i wanna visit the future & dance in a field of light!
washing windows with angelina i don't understand anything violent angles from side to side how'd you get so tangled up in my life? how'd you get so caught? how'd you get so tangled up? i love you like it's the old days when i could ask you anything how'd you get so tangled up in my thinkin? how'd you get so caught? how'd you get so tangled up?
Hand over hand I’m pulling myself together on this itchy couch again I’d pull you in but I couldn’t help thinking or my mouth was tarpaulin let me start again: I didn’t mean to say so much about my plans so you see my hand (see?) it’s never either/or now stigmata ampersand The morning is the self it’s self evident: a clattering of blinds: a mimetic wind: a sympathetic tremor I’m a tessela of signs. o I close my eyes &: fractal inner rings of varicose resign! coiled dark inside I’ll open my eyes and clear my throat when I know it’s time: AAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOUU AA OOOO & && &&& &&&& &&&&& &&&&&& &&&&&&& &&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Rolling on his back like an ocelot crawling on his stomach you make the lids stick together nothing really bugs me out nothing really bugs me. Tightening the slack on the millimeter tape trudging through your stomach I make the walls split forever nothing really bugs me out nothing really bugs me anymore. I've had enough. Now we're on the same page. Circling the gap like you don't know what you hold drying out my knuckles you tucked it between the folds nothing really bugs me out nothing really bugs me. Recycling the cans at the center by the boxcars we've been carving little symbols in the bark nothing really bugs me out nothing really bugs me out. So let it go: there's nothing I could tell you that you don't already know.
so satisfied i said a lot of things tonight so long aphasia & the ways it kept me hiding it's not so much exactly all the words i used it's more that i was somehow down to let them loose so complicated i cant wait to get explaining your listening distended out since i've been crying so long aphasia & the ways it kept me hidden so long to silent nerves & hesitant oblivion you came & sent me out unfurling in the street & i felt unprecedented confidence in speaking stick around im thinking things'll be alright newly delivered wont you live with me tonight something tonight was such a letdown on my pride it takes a part of me i don't got to take some things in stride i'd pace around the place so quiet in myself id wake the next & see my silence went unfelt just when i thought i had this pattern sorted out apparently my ventricles are full of doubt now nah things go wrong sometimes don't let it freak you out but if i don't have you by me then i'll go underground! nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along plus one day you'll be reaching for me & i'll be gone to help remind myself I wrote this little song one day i won't need your love one day i won't define myself by the one i'm thinkin of & if one day i won't need it one day you won't need it
