The Pines

City Pages A-list Pick 12/29: "...The Pines paint brooding masterpieces in shades of sepia, gray, and tan, evoking the desolate winter prairie...Jeremy Messersmith writes laconic, meticulously crafted pop-folk songs with a major dose of Brian Wilson-like pop smarts and quirky introspection laced with literary turns....Roma di Luna play sparse tunes that squirm and fret under thriving uncertainty...<they> etch tales of harrowing brittleness on their debut, Find Your Way Home, Channy in particular singing with a fractured radiance that sometimes seems like the bittersweet murmuring of ghosts."
