Format:Audio CD
The Pines' last offering, "Tremolo" was a real gem of dusty Americana, although it seems by and large to have slipped under the radar. This new one follows much the same formula, with David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey's appealingly hushed vocals and crisp playing encased in a beautifully sparkling production. The only problem is that most of the songs are noticeably less memorable this time.

Things start well enough with "Cry, Cry, Crow" that slips effortlessly into an insistently mournful groove and stays there, while the softly shimmering "All The While", all crisp guitars and background echoes, is far and away the best thing on the entire record. It's just a shame there aren't more like it.

The three instrumentals (too many, surely?) "Moonrise, IA", "Losing The Stars" and the banjo-led "Grace Hill" sound more like backing-tracks waiting to have vocals added, rather than standalone pieces. Elsewhere, song structures and rhythms ("If By Morning") already seem overly familiar because of their similarity to previous Pines songs.

At their best, The Pines are an engaging and very moving listening experience. There's nothing wrong here that a few more tightly written songs can't put right, and hopefully they'll address that next time round.

Americana at its best. The pines deliver a hypnotic album rich in dark Americana which is irresistible. I also like the instrumental tracks which adds to it atmospheric feel overall. Highly recommended.

Fantastic! 29 Feb 2012
By Kelly Emry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I have all the Pines CDs and I wasn't sure if I would like the new one as much as the others, but they have truely outdone themselves. I would say this album sounds more "polished" than some of the other albums. This a band for people that enjoy real actual music. The guitar playing alone would be reason enough to listen but on top of the great genuine music is the great lyrics and vocals.
I would highly recommend this!

An Amazon special - tried it and love it. Saw The Pines shortly after. (opened by Ritchie Stearns, another highly recommended musician) Lyrics, music, voices - just wonderful. This is the newest of their 4 albums. Definitely a find for people who enjoy mature indie-alt-folk.
