Fifty-word review

Underneath the Pine

7.0 out of 10

Contextually, Underneath the Pine carries more dissonance in how layers – loops, vocals, drums – interact. The tracks that carry heavy 70s influences communicate more effectively than the abstract collections of aesthetic sounds. The music's eloquent beauty is dampened by distracting, discordant lyrics, but it's still capable of affecting your inner equilibrium.
