Pinegrove by Balarama Heller
Pinegrove worked with former Death Cab For Cutie member Chris Walla on their new record.
Pinegrove have shared Respirate from their upcoming 11:11 album.
“With Respirate, I was thinking about the opportunity we had in the chaos Covid brought to redesign society so that it works well for more people, but that instead what’s unfolding is a doubling down on the same bent and venal structures that have resulted in so much inequity in the first place,” explains singer/guitarist Evan Stephens Hall.
“So, how can we compassionately respond to such cold and blatant greed? How can we make sure to look out for one another in the absence of meaningful leadership and materially significant policy? We’ve been stranded but we will look out for each other—what choice do we have? The song is a reminder that we’re in this together.”
Hall describes the symbolic 11:11 as a, ‘wink from the universe’. It’s due for release on January 28th.
