Product Overview
Pinegrove - 11:11 (CD) PinegroveÙs new album, Ø11:11Ù, is an unqualified triumph, an album that seizes listeners with hook-filled songs imbuing feelings of warmth, urgency and poetic beauty, even as it asks some of lifeÙs big and difficult questions. On previous Pinegrove recordings, band member Sam Skinner usually oversees mixing duties, but this time out, noted producer and former Death Cab for Cutie member Chris Walla has assumed the role. Calling previous album ØMarigoldÙs production Ücrisp and contained,Ý Hall, who co-produced Ø11:11Ù with Sam, sought more of a ÜmessierÝ feel for these new songs. Most of the recording took place at two Hudson Valley facilities (Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock and The Building in Marlboro) with the final touches done side by side with Walla in Seattle. Ø11:11Ù features lush soundscapes, organs, Megan BenaventeÙs melodic and adventurous bass playing, Josh MarreÙs signature guitar work and a special guest - Doug Hall, EvanÙs father- playing piano on many tracks. The record sounds intimate, yet expansive. ÜIt spends equal time on optimism, community, reaffirming what we are and how itÙs our duty to look out for one another,Ý says singer Evan Stephens Hall. ÜThereÙs anger, love, hope and grief. The record has all of that.Ý TRACKLISTING 1. Habitat 2. Alaska 3. Iodine 4. Orange 5. Flora 6. Respirate 7. Let 8. So What 9. Swimming 10. Cyclone 11. 11th Hour
