“When we last heard from Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall, he was working through some very public personal stuff and trying to look to the future on his band’s pretty and introspective 2020 album, Marigold. “Is it so wrong?” he sang on “No Drugs,” the album’s third track. “I wanna feel good.” Two years later, Hall seems to have found his way there, even as the world has gone to shit. On Pinegrove’”
“The band’s open-armed fifth album looks to make amends, situating our human responsibilities within a natural world no less powerful and vulnerable than we are.”
