It’s wild that Pinegrove is having this Moment (No pun intended) the second after they disbanded. I finally got to see them in Milwaukee after following them since 2015. I adore Evan and co. I Hope their hiatus is brief. They didn’t make a single bad album. Love when Michael covers my favorites. Keep on keepin’ on.
Damn. I have been listening to PG for a bit, and had no idea they broke up within the last few months. This really brought me down. I cherish their old tunes, and went to a bunch of their sets in the tristate area.
I saw them open for Into It. Over It. 2016 in San Diego, I had no clue who they were. It took a few months afterwards until I was obsessed with them! I never got to see them after that :( please come back Pinegrove! :)
Someone has probably already mentioned it but also do yourself a favor and watch Pinegroves tiny desk concert it’s unbelievably good and the production is mixed so well it’s pure bliss listening on headphones! They are masters of the soft touch!! Definitely will get you in the feels! Thank you Michael for always bringing the positive passion!!
Michael, if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and watch the full Amperland movie on your own time. So much incredible musicianship throughout. This song is just the tip of the iceberg
I can’t believe I’m only just now seeing this video. I’ve been a fan of Pinegrove for almost a decade and have always felt they were under-appreciated, specifically for their musicianship. I’ve been trying to get Beato for years to cover them on his channel 😂. So it’s cool to see a guitar focused channel finally cover them. Hopefully you’ll do another video on them soon.
This is nuts… “Darkness” played on my discover weekly playlist (had never heard them before) and was genuinely moved by the song. Great song, great band.
Love pinegrove. They play with tempo a ton in their music which feels really live. Check out the Tiny Desk concert for some killer stuff. Props to the mixing on that video.
Love Pinegrove so much. Saw them in a small venue and the crowd was singing so loud that I couldn't hear Evan lol. So much intelligence and nuance in their songs
Yea i saw them in 2017 at a church called the Southgate House Revival in Newport KY. One of my all-time favorite concert memories. There was a second level with an organ above the stage. Maybe 400 people in the building
I watch/listen to Amperland and their Audiotree Live set pretty much on a weekly basis while at work. Pinegrove is so incredibly talented in such a tasteful and sonically interesting way. And Evan is a master songwriter/lyricist. I pray to god they get back together and start making more music and playing shows. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and check out more of their music. And to each their own, but I prefer the live performance recordings over the albums, so sample both. This is a band that sure knows how to rework a song for a crowd.
Yo, Michael. I love what you do, and you've made me change my mind on numerous bands, I'd love for you to dive in on stephan malkmus. Not pavement which he's famous for, but the early "stephen malkmus and the jicks" stuff. The song "water and a seat" gets me there, dude. Please.
Pine Grove is amazing! Love their Audio Tree Live session.... But please do yourself a favor and check out Peach Pit! Great "Shoe Gaze Indie" with melting leads
Pg has been one of my favorites since 2017. So good and excellent live. Too bad the drummer just recently left the band and they went on a hiatus just as they're getting a lot of attention online.
interesting breakdown of one of my favs songs by pinegrove. one tiny note is that the guitarist playing the solo actually uses they/them pronouns. it might help to look into the bands you're covering just a bit before recording so you don't miss anything like that! still a fun video, cheers!
Have loved this band for years, Im glad a big reaction channel has finally gotten around to them. Such talented songwriters. Hopefully we see more Pinegrove reactions on this channel in the future!
Have I missed something or are Pinegrove blowing up out of no where? Been a huge fan since their first album. Watching you dissect one of my favourite solos ever was incredible. I love their sound, but I have to say their earlier stuff is extremely thought out. I think they've probably found their sound now - which isn't a bad thing, but I do miss them really pushing their country influence.
One of the greatest feelings of my life was driving through Sequioa national park as the sun was setting with the light coming through the hemlocks and sequioas as that solo dropped. Made me feel limitless
reminds me of the times i would listen on my way to work in north jersey... crossing the new hope bridge specifically. not as limitless, but also driving.
By far my favorite live studio recording of all time. Saw Pinegrove a little over a year ago in STL. Top 3 concert for me. They are spectacular live. Also, so stoked you did this video. Love watching your stuff.
I’ve gotten a lot of joy from your videos over the last couple years. I was so delighted to see this video pop up recently. Pinegrove is one of my favorite bands. Thanks for giving them the time and attention for this video
Hi michael love the reaction vids. You should react to prob one of the best acoustic fingerstlye guitarists SUNGHA JUNG If not the best out there. I reccomend to check his original arrangements like NEON by john mayer its just insanely mind blowing PLS SEE THISS
I live in Barcelona and traveled to the Netherlands to see them back in 2016 when I first found out about them. The guitar player, Jodi, is also such an amzing artist and I love their music.
Pinegrove is a solid group, but they're in such an odd place with regards to their perception. Some people adore them and a lot of folks hate them. I especially don't understand why they're so polarizing. They're a solid band. Nothing special or genre defining, but thwy don't have to be. They made solid, a bit better than average music. A bit melodramatic, but people really love that. I don't understand the people that are so against their music. It's ok to like 6/10 music. It's nice!
as a huge pinegrove fan theres something about this comment that really rubs me the wrong way, i would rather someone just say "they suck" than "eh they're decent, 6/10" lmao
