Pinegrove - Skylight (September 28, 2018) Album • Page 10

But like Casey mentioned a few posts ago, this is basically the production on like half of Everything So Far. I think this band is bound to get pretty big even if they put out an album sounding like this, they’re gaining so much coverage right now. Even just since cardinal has come out they’ve gotten so much bigger. Waaaay bigger, like pitchfork didn’t even cover cardinal now they’re all over this band.

Also though, I think you could be right. I could see this not being on the album, or perhaps being a demo. Kinda like ESF Size of the moon version.

 

yeah it sounds like Cardinal and Meridian and most of the other songs.

I kinda want this to be another 8 track record just because i like that kind of consistency but also i want as much material as possible so catch me with that Pinegrove double album soon

 

I dno, this song is like exactly what I wanted. Those lap steel guitars are sounding awesome

 

them and cloud nothings are kings of the 8 track record

 

my Sputnikmusic review of Cardinal was like the 10th most viewed review on that site in 2016 so yeah theyre gaining a lot of traction very quickly and im very happy to have contributed to that because they deserve the best

 

Yea.. I think people wanted a step up tho.. I know I did.. will I still enjoy the song? Of course. But given their momentum it made sense for them to have, better gear and better production this time around.

I still don’t think this track will be on the album tho. So maybe there’s a reason it was released as a tide over for now.

 

and Japandroids

 

when songs aren't big catchy poppy anthems it's usually harder for me to enjoy out of context, it's not an immediate song to me and that doesn't take away from it, just need time

 

god damnit japandroids and cloud nothings are literally the same band in so many regards lol

except cloud nothings are better

 

Fair enough cwhit

 

This is what I'm thinking is most likely. It is either all going to sound like this, or this is a demo version. I think its about 60-40 that this is how its all gonna sound though.

 

Didn't think anything of the production. Sounds like Pinegrove.

 

were you all expecting a Pinegrove record with radio rock sheen or something? this sounds cozy and intimate and highlights the best qualities of the band. I wish they would lean to a slightly more lo-fi sound personally.

 

Song is really cool tho, enough about the production. Those switches in tempo and feel are so awesome

 

I wanted better sounding guitars/drums and the vocals pushed up a bit in the mix. Not crazy but enough for me to make out more of the lyrics

 

guaranteeing now the record will be pitchfork BNM regardless on how this record compares to cardinal

 

I hope for this album they re-record Angelina and make it 5 times longer

 

Oh no doubt

 

i don't at all because of what evan said at the pingus tour about that song/short songs in general, that song in particular was one where he wrote one part and liked it a lot and another part and liked it less so cut out the parts that weren't his favorite and boom. short songs

 

why stop there, 33 minutes straight of Angelina.

 

They could record the whole album on an I phone and if the songs were good enough it would still be my aoty ha. I just am selfishly wanting to hear more parts.

 

I honestly have no idea what could even challenge it for AOTY 2018 for me. If Pianos somehow stepped up and wrote a better record than Keep You, MAYBE.

 

yeah that's what I'm trying to get at, my comment wasn't directed at you and I know you like a lot of clarity in the music you listen to. I just hate how parts of this site get more worked up about what a mix sounds like than the songs themselves, especially considering production choices are generally intentional and maybe the band didn't want them to sound cleaner

 

Artists :: Dead Oceans

pinegrove officially on the dead oceans page btw

 

Haha mostly I was just trying to get the point across that that song is the best pinegrove song
