Pinegrove: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Bob Boilen | December 2, 2016 - There's a confessional quality to the songs of Pinegrove that feels reassuring. The problems that swirl around Evan Stephens Hall's head feel universal, so it's comforting in "Old Friends" when he sings, "I should call my parents when I think of them / I should tell my friends when I love them."
The New Jersey group's sound feels fresh and scrappy at the same time. Hall and drummer Zack Levine, who've been friends since they were 7, form the core of Pinegrove. (Their dads play music together, too.) Together, the band squeezed four songs into their 13-minute Tiny Desk concert, with Hall's voice - and a spirit of warmheartedness and friendship - at the center of it all.

Not an easy situation to mix for either, the fact that they're trying to get a real organic sound while using as few mics as possible in that room they're in which doesn't look to be some acoustic masterpiece of a space.... Credit to the people that book for that too though, most acts that come thru know how to play to the situation so well. Out of all the stripped down performance shows out there, audiotree, 97x, triple j, etc etc, tiny desk is the undisputed best.

i just keep playing old friends over and over again. it crushes me. i had a friend who looked like the lead singer, like, strangely similar, and about a year ago he killed himself. he was in the military, we played high school football together, and were generally close during that time, but life has a way of creating distance between people, even those you love dearly. it's just that idea, and that line about seeing an old friend, and attending their funeral not that long after seeing them, and how we should tell our friends and parents that we love them. fuck man, it just makes me feel so human i guess

[@blakemcpherson9725]

I feel ya man. About a year ago, my first girlfriend died in a car wreck and every time he sings "I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago, saw some old friends at her funeral" it makes me think of her and growing up with her. Really plucks some strings at your heart, you know.

[@lindsayobrienhead9821]

I completely understand this.. I actually listened to Old Friends over and over again after my friend died of an accidental overdose.. I feel guilty about always being in my own world and not making more of an effort to connect with her in recent times, along with others that have made an impact in my life. And the thing about seeing Leah on the bus a few months ago.. saw some old friends at her funeral ..reminds me of seeing old friends from college at her funeral and it tears me apart.

Pinegrove unplugged is just folk music, which is honestly most of the reason I gave the band a chance. This was my first exposure to them. Now, I’m in the middle of a big Pinegrove binge. It’s interesting to see my internalized music biases working in real-time. I’m a big folk music guy, and I probably wouldn’t have given Pinegrove a first chance if they’d been all electrified. But now, I love the fuzz guitars. If I wasn’t so strict about the kind of music I let in, I’d probably like a lot more bands than I do.

[@jevinday]

the best music is music that tells a story, and at its core it's called folk rock. pinegrove is the perfect embodiment of it.

[@real96]

They sort of mix midwest emo and folk music together which works surprisingly well and is one of the reasons the songs work so well electric and acoustic

well there was some controversy surrounding him and a relationship he had with a woman. he's learned from it and they resolved their conflict through a mediator and she seems to be satisfied with the reflection and changes he's made as well as how he addressed it when it all came out. that's all we can ask for from artists. they are human and if they cannot avoid problematic situations to begin with then all we can hope is they do right by each other (the people involved) and they learn and grow and it appears that is the case with evan.
