It’s wild that Pinegrove is having this Moment (No pun intended) the second after they disbanded. I finally got to see them in Milwaukee after following them since 2015. I adore Evan and co. I Hope their hiatus is brief. They didn’t make a single bad album. Love when Michael covers my favorites. Keep on keepin’ on.

I would watch a marathon video of you going through this entire short film

Every pinegrove set is a masterclass in dynamic range…

Have loved this band for years, Im glad a big reaction channel has finally gotten around to them. Such talented songwriters. Hopefully we see more Pinegrove reactions on this channel in the future!

Someone has probably already mentioned it but also do yourself a favor and watch Pinegroves tiny desk concert it’s unbelievably good and the production is mixed so well it’s pure bliss listening on headphones! They are masters of the soft touch!! Definitely will get you in the feels! Thank you Michael for always bringing the positive passion!!

Michael, if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and watch the full Amperland movie on your own time. So much incredible musicianship throughout. This song is just the tip of the iceberg

One of the greatest feelings of my life was driving through Sequioa national park as the sun was setting with the light coming through the hemlocks and sequioas as that solo dropped. Made me feel limitless

This is by far my favorite Pinegrove song. Its wild how they're blowing up right now.

This is nuts… “Darkness” played on my discover weekly playlist (had never heard them before) and was genuinely moved by the song. Great song, great band.

Seeing Zac (drums) give Nick (Guitar for the Solo) give them props because the two of them are siblings too. So touching

You should listen to that whole video! Every song on that album is a masterpiece!!

Seeing Micheal nerd out over Pinegrove makes me feel so happy! Glad they got featured on the channel finally :)

Love pinegrove. They play with tempo a ton in their music which feels really live. Check out the Tiny Desk concert for some killer stuff. Props to the mixing on that video.

Hell yeah, Pinegrove!

By far my favorite live studio recording of all time. Saw Pinegrove a little over a year ago in STL. Top 3 concert for me. They are spectacular live. Also, so stoked you did this video. Love watching your stuff.

It's so incredibly cool seeing the talent behind this band being talked about. I really hope this guy covers a lot more of their music.

I watch/listen to Amperland and their Audiotree Live set pretty much on a weekly basis while at work. Pinegrove is so incredibly talented in such a tasteful and sonically interesting way. And Evan is a master songwriter/lyricist. I pray to god they get back together and start making more music and playing shows. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and check out more of their music. And to each their own, but I prefer the live performance recordings over the albums, so sample both. This is a band that sure knows how to rework a song for a crowd.

I’ve gotten a lot of joy from your videos over the last couple years. I was so delighted to see this video pop up recently. Pinegrove is one of my favorite bands. Thanks for giving them the time and attention for this video

Love watching them live just to try and figure out what fingerings they use on guitar. Interesting how they form chords

Hell yeah love Pinegrove glad to see this band getting light shed on ❤

Love Pinegrove so much. Saw them in a small venue and the crowd was singing so loud that I couldn't hear Evan lol. So much intelligence and nuance in their songs

6:11 also my face during that part haha

Try out Darkness by Pinegrove, probably my fav of theirs

please do more pinegrove!

Have I missed something or are Pinegrove blowing up out of no where? Been a huge fan since their first album. Watching you dissect one of my favourite solos ever was incredible. I love their sound, but I have to say their earlier stuff is extremely thought out. I think they've probably found their sound now - which isn't a bad thing, but I do miss them really pushing their country influence.

One of my favourite songs of all time. Just brilliant. Somehow simple, yet entirely unique.

Pinegrove YES!!! So many great tunes

"you got that one" to the drummer killed me

that solo flowed like a feather falling down, side to side, up and down

I live in Barcelona and traveled to the Netherlands to see them back in 2016 when I first found out about them. The guitar player, Jodi, is also such an amzing artist and I love their music.

Great video. It was kind of fun watching you discover how great Pinegrove is.

This is crazy. My favourite solo, so much feel

New band to me! Love it, so much!

Love Pinegrove. Also like individual stuff from Jodi (Nico Levine) - who plays the solo here

Definitely all about the vibe..... And the vibe is STELLAR

Getting ready to add Pinegrove to my "list" for listening!

Took me way to long to realize the room colors matched what each band member was wearing

Yo, Michael. I love what you do, and you've made me change my mind on numerous bands, I'd love for you to dive in on stephan malkmus. Not pavement which he's famous for, but the early "stephen malkmus and the jicks" stuff. The song "water and a seat" gets me there, dude. Please.

God I love pinegrove

Pinegrove is the best, man

This song reminds me of 90’s alternative Bohemian music which I dig it

Santa Rosa here too!

been commenting this bands name for years now, thank you lord

The Audio Tree version of Aphasia by Pinegrove is close to perfection.

Love Pine Grove. Would love to see Size of the Moon or Rings done.

Man pinegrove has taken over my tik Tok the last two days and this pops up lol The algorithm is real!!!

Holy shit Santa Rosa!

reminds me of neil young

Pine Grove is amazing! Love their Audio Tree Live session.... But please do yourself a favor and check out Peach Pit! Great "Shoe Gaze Indie" with melting leads

You need to react to Red Leather ! ‘Once upon a time in Hollywood’ has one of the best guitar solos and shifts I’ve heard in years.

Hello, you are the best guitar analyst on KZfaq to me. I would love to see you react on some Andy McKee or Stricagnoli ! Take care !

sounds like My Morning Jacket

Definitely should check out the Audiotree session.

Pinegrove shuffle when

You gotta do jack-a-roe by the dead live at knickerbocker

Pg has been one of my favorites since 2017. So good and excellent live. Too bad the drummer just recently left the band and they went on a hiatus just as they're getting a lot of attention online.

Wish you would put the vid link in the description

Is Brian Birbiglia related to the comedian Mike Birbiglia?

Have you ever reacted to any Lorna Shore?

Hi michael love the reaction vids. You should react to prob one of the best acoustic fingerstlye guitarists SUNGHA JUNG If not the best out there. I reccomend to check his original arrangements like NEON by john mayer its just insanely mind blowing PLS SEE THISS

🙏react to Carmen by Marcin Patrzałek 🇵🇱❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍🇵🇱

the guys from Weezer look different

That this band has gone completely over my head and so many others in Europe is a damn sin!

🍀 Promo>SM

interesting breakdown of one of my favs songs by pinegrove. one tiny note is that the guitarist playing the solo actually uses they/them pronouns. it might help to look into the bands you're covering just a bit before recording so you don't miss anything like that! still a fun video, cheers!

First

Pinegrove is a solid group, but they're in such an odd place with regards to their perception. Some people adore them and a lot of folks hate them. I especially don't understand why they're so polarizing. They're a solid band. Nothing special or genre defining, but thwy don't have to be. They made solid, a bit better than average music. A bit melodramatic, but people really love that. I don't understand the people that are so against their music. It's ok to like 6/10 music. It's nice!
