Description
Skylight is the follow up to 2016s widely-acclaimed breakthrough album, Cardinal.
The 2CD and 2LP formats come with an entire bonus album, Skylight II (the album performed acoustically).
In 2017, Pinegrove moved into a rural farmhouse in upstate New York to make their new album Skylight, living, working and recording together. This DIY ethos solidifies Pinegroves position at the epicentre of a creative community, where theyve adopted a friends first policy when cycling through the bands touring iteration. ? Skylight is an album about happiness, figuring out how to be optimistic and realistic. To be effectively optimistic, you have to establish relationships with darkness and disappointment. The position of optimism is earned. Frontman Evan Stephens Halls classic American melodies and emotionally direct lyrics blend seamlessly with alt-country instrumentation and experimental rhythms of drummer Zack Levine.
The band are confident in their idiosyncrasy, dropping pop structures when they no longer fit. The songs swing between wider extremes whisper to full-belt and back again, treading mid-air and Pinegrove more exactly, more full-throatedly say what theyve been trying to say.
