Pinegrove Sign To Rough Trade Records And Share New Track "Moment"

We are thrilled to welcome Pinegrove from Montclair, NJ to Rough Trade Records, and to share their brand new track “Moment” (listen HERE)

Formed in 2010 by childhood friends Evan Stephens Hall and drummer Zack Levine, the band have since gained a loyal cult following thanks to their electrifying, joyous live shows and singer/songwriter/guitarist Evan’s complex, deeply-resonating songwriting. “Moment” is a powerful return from a band at full creative tilt, and we’re excited to embark on this musical journey together.

Hall named the band after a “beautiful and regulated, yet natural and messy” grid of pine trees on his college grounds. ‘The Pinegrove’ was a place of introspection, repose and spiritual serenity, and a place he had established to be creatively fertile. That influence - the peace found in nature and contemplation - is a theme in his songwriting. “Moment” continues that tradition with reference to emotional chaos, traffic and imagery of “an animal scared stiff in the lights of the van.”
 
Evan explains, “‘Moment’ for me was a way of thinking about gratitude in the context of chaos or tedium. This last stanza says directly what i say more obliquely in the verses, zeroing in after a meandering route:
 
I’m in this moment
& i can’t see past it
I’m in this disaster
I’m in this traffic
& it keeps on going
but it keeps me asking
what’s in this moment"
