[ATTENDED: February 18, 2022] Pinegrove
This is my fourth time seeing Pinegrove. I have a sweet fondness for this band. They were my first (and only) show at the First Unitarian Church–a show that was so vibrant and alive that I remember it very well even five years later.
Their shows don’t have a lot “going on,” just a lot of good music and a band that sounds better and better.
This new tour is in support of their new album 11:11. I didn’t like this album as much as their previous collections–the songs were a little too slow for my liking (although there are some terrific songs on it). They played the entire album (not in order) which might seem like a bummer given how I wasn’t crazy about the album
But instead, the band sounded so good, so dynamic, that it made me like the new songs far more than I did. Perhaps it was the way they were spaced out. Or maybe it was mixing older songs with the new ones. Whatever the case, it made the new songs sound fantastic.
