    There’s a danger throughout Marigold of looking too deeply into every lyric, and of searching for meaning in each song. Those who come to Pinegrove without knowing the backstory will find an album of pleasant alt-country that may not hit the heights of their back catalogue, but feels like a tentative step back to normality.

    It doesn’t sound like the work of a band who might inspire legions of fans (among them, apparently, Kristen Stewart) to get tattooed with their logo, but these world-weary yet radio-friendly ballads imply the band might achieve longevity after all. Three chords and the truth never gets old, and ‘Marigold’ vividly paints the knottiness of adulthood.

    A 37-minute album that feels closer to feature-length.

Hall's lyrics have an unusual literariness that would be pretentious under someone less talented. Pinegrove has proved, to me at least, that they are a serious band and worth listening to.… Full Review »

    Evan Stephens Hall has an incredible way of making this album sound personal. Not as much in the sense of personal as in relatable, but likeEvan Stephens Hall has an incredible way of making this album sound personal. Not as much in the sense of personal as in relatable, but like he is singing directly to you, nearby. For you. It’s honest, poetic, layered, raw, a true piece of art. The whole album was produced very well and the entire band sounds great, including several guitar parts being very memorable.… Full Review »
