Sergio I really enjoyed this video, you are awesome and i love the band. I was blown away by your description at the end. That's exactly what I think & that's exactly why it resonates so much. They've perfected it. Keep up the good work.
Most bands I get tired of listening too nonstop after a year or so. But I’ve been nonstop listening to Pinegrove for like 3 years now and never get tired. I think it’s safe to say this is one of my top bands of my life
no way i was just watching your videos to find videos of FOD and i just saw your comment while listening to pine grove live performances lmao. that’s sick that you like them and moto
i feel like pinegrove has introduced a lot of country elements to a scene which previously did NOT embrace country elements. i NEVER thought i would like something so country, but their usage of it is truly masterful.
hey! I guess this is slightly contradictory to my "pause and read", but it seems like there was enough interest here for maybe another one of these. I was looking to make the channel slightly less tech focused anyway, and I think this could be an interesting place to start that. kindly hit that subscribe button if you're interested! helps out a bunch :)
Enjoyed this - thank you. I find Pinegrove so sonically interesting that it never seems to get old. You can listen to Pinegrove records regularly for months and they still sound great.
I just doubled my knowledge of music theory from this one video, and got 4 songs down. Excellent use of concrete examples. Great work being accessible, actually showing the chords, as I was able to pause and play while watching.
when i found pinegrove, i found them off of midwest emo & pop punk spotify so i'm partial to the idea that they're more midwest than indie. either way, i love how they're not a single genere but more of a blend! my all time favorite band !
This was so useful in finding out why my brain loves this band so much, thanks! A part of their value is how hard it is to find another band that fills the same void as this one!
Love that you mentioned that the songs are written "for guitar." It's one of the first things I noticed when playing the songs, the voicings and progressions flow so easily on the guitar with little usage of alternate tunings
haha trust me, there are lots of people who do this way better than me, but I'm glad you enjoyed! maybe I'll take a look at some other artists I'm into in the future if there's enough interest :-)
This is cool, like an academic study of PG. I listen to all the mentioned genres, so it's making a lot more sense why their music is on my daily playlist.
You packed in so much great analysis via 8 songs. I really appreciate your concise breakdown of each. Altogether great content and amazing subject, hope to see more!
Happy I stumbled upon this! I love Pinegrove, and their music is great! As a music enthusiast for many years, I love watching videos breaking down the theory behind my favorite music!
Loved your commentary, they're one of my favs right now. I would say aphasia is a LOT more than just love and loss lyrics. The song is about aphasia quite literally. It's about overcoming the inability to speak and the way it feels for the words to just start flowing after months to years of silence.
not even done with the video but this is insanely good content man. earned my sub for sure, it's nice to see breakdowns like this for music outside of the box
thank ya :-)) while I'm not necessarily a music channel, I did enjoy doin this, so I'll definitely come back to another artist I like sometime soon :-)
pinegrove songs just have a sound that brings about nostalgia to me. i'm not sure where it comes from but I can't help but to think about my childhood when I listen to their songs
true, i think nostalgia is the agreed upon adjective by most pinegrove fans - i think it’s just timbre and lyric selection coming together in a nice way
Great video! I especially appreciated your emphasis on Pinegrove's unique dynamic structure. As a musician myself, I sometimes get tripped up into thinking that every song needs to have a certain amount of chord changes or fancy voicings to make it special. But as you show, the feeling put into each song is what gives it its unique character. Everyone puts little flares of inspiration from their favorite artists into their work until they eventually develop a sound of their own. Hope the finals went well! Peace!
Thank you for this video! Just got hooked on this band a few months ago. I totally agree with your analysis. Interesting that you did not even mention Old Friends to talk about their style! Love Big Thief too. So I will listen to your video on them.
Love this video! My only nitpick is how Everything so Far is so often treated as one album when it's really a compilation featuring several distinct eras of Pinegrove, including their real first album (Meridian) and 3 EPs. Recognizing these as separate projects paints a richer picture of how they developed their sound; contrast the lush, abstract approach they took on & to the more stripped back Mixtape 2 where they first really embraced the direct, vulnerable lyrical style they're known for today It's not as big of a sonic change as the albums you covered, and I understand the video can only be so long, but it's an era of Pinegrove I love so I thought I'd point it out!
Fantastic video man, really interesting analysis and I love the way you presented it. I’ve been captivated by Pinegrove and it’s really cool to see a concise explanation of the key techniques here
Subscribed my friend - been super into music theory and harmonic usage has been a part that I'm trying to make more connections with and Pinegrove is one of my all time favorite bands. This felt super digestible for some learning while also breaking down what makes the songs so great. Plus just watched some other videos and you cover a ton of great music and topics! Best of luck - love your stuff. Will be watching more! Cheers!
I love how you try to pin this band into categories. This is a way of listening to music I am not familiar with but I appreciate your interpretation. This is great.
Well done my friend. Don't know how I stumbled onto this link but it was a perfect introduction to what appears to be some great stuff. I'm a fellow musician and I enjoyed how you broke it down. Simple and concise. I love me some dags so I was hooked the moment I saw the star of the video was a black lab with a greying chinbeard. Do yourself a favor and check out the first 3 albums by A.A. Bondy. The progression from his first into American Hearts and then Believers is quite a journey. His newest stuff is quite the curveball but hey, he's an artist what do I expect hahaha. Enjoy.
I was trying to figure out the acoustic version of Phase and ended up stumbling on your video and really enjoying this. You really threw some nice words around that ineffable quality that makes them special as a band. I'd like to see more of these dissections of sound and diving into what makes a band sonically interesting n such.
Haha thank you! Ah idk I'm debating - I think she definitely writes her solo stuff noticeably different than BOCC stuff, so it might be a tough parallel to draw. Although I do personally bop to BOCC a lot more :)
As someone who has really been into Pinegrove for the past 2 years, this was a super enjoyable video to watch. You really know your stuff, and it was a pleasure to hear somebody dissect and analyze their songwriting in the way that you did.
@@sergescardigno Your description of their genre-blending was on point too. I never know how to describe them to people haha. I usually just say indie emo country, but you really put their genre blend into context nicely.
sergio. Im a huge fan of your videos. 1. Thank you for creating beautiful, accessible, great content for the music lover with an insatiable appetite for all things music. 2. You know so much about music theory, what recommendations to you have to broaden that knowledge. because 3. I write songs too, and I feel like i can only benefit from understanding the harmonic bedrock of progressions, or to even understand what I harmonically tend to in the over 30 songs i've already written. Sincerely, a friend, fan, and fellow traveler.
Nice vid, just stumbled on this channel as I just found Pinegrove and have been going down the rabbit hole. I just learned Aphasia acoustic and definitely see what you mean about the cowboy chords and them being close and easy to transition to. I'm a beginner when it comes to music theory, so it's interesting to see you point out theoretical reasoning behind the obvious jazz and country undertones that are so easy to hear but tough for me to put my finger on. I will say, I personally think Evan would be just as successful solo. I think the most unique and alluring part of this band are the lyrics, and the delivery of them. That is more on display during singer/songwriter type performances, and it's no surprise that Pinegrove's most popular songs like Old Friends and Aphasia have amazing solo acoustic versions on UA-cam, both of which have more views than any of their other songs. Anyway, hope the final went well!
ty!! yeah i think if you’re getting into songwriting at any point, learning these songs is easy, fun, and can teach you a lot. sure maybe evan would be successful solo, but idk having seen them live a lot and the chemistry they have, i don’t think i’d wanna break that up yk
@@sergescardigno Good point, and to be fair, the old friends acoustic video that is really popular is actually not solo, he's got a guy on the synth adding a lot of depth to the performance. Some points he's not even playing guitar. I should try to check these guys out live one day, once shows are actually going on again :(
thank ya! yeah man it's just a lot of open chords - seems like Evan is the kind of songwriter than tests moving a few fingers around and does it by ear yk
Great video dude, super interesting and well done! You could to consider calling 7 and 3 in the minor key bVII and bIII as the roman numerals still relate to the major scale keys even if you're in a minor key!
Love this video dude. I think you unpack the songs in a way that make them so approachable while appreciating the complexity of instrumentation and musicianship. The only thing I disagree on is you saying it’s unfortunate that marigold has less banjo. I personally love it a little more for that reason. I feel like the use of the banjo in pinegrove music, although beautiful, was always a grasp at a “we’re a folky band” vibe. But I think you sum up the true essence of pinegrove with your conclusion that it’s more singer songwriter with instrumentation highlighting the extra stuff. Really thoughtful analysis of an incredible band. Thank for sharing this ♥️
Wow, thanks a ton for this, means a lot :). I personally love the vibe of marigold still even without banjo, and totally understand what you're sayin. I guess I'm just a little partial to the older stuff, and the banjo thus has a slightly more nostalgic context for how I discovered them, if that makes sense.
@@Heisenbrick so weird that toy replied to this today because I was on a run and randomly thought about this comment I left on this video and about how I think I’d go back now and maybe take back my statement about the banjo. Maybe it was after watching Amperland, NY that sold the banjo Pinegrove vibe to me. I’m definitely way more into it now.
everything so far is a collection of cohesive albums! problems-need 2 is “mixtape two”, namesake-unison is “&”, palisade-sunday is “meridian” and on jet lag and days are “mixtape one”. i know you acknowledged their ten year discography but it’s just a lil pet peeve of mine when people don’t talk about the album and eps that make up everything so far. great vid!!
Hey Sergio! UA-cam recommended this video to me, so either the algorithm knows we went to high school together, or you're really on the right track getting popular. Great video!
haha hey andrew! appreciate it a bunch 🙏🏼, hoping to see tallest man again with you as soon as possible :) (i just realized it was actually with sami and jesse but still would love to have you there next time lol)
@@sergescardigno I clicked instantly because Pinegrove is one of my favorite bands of all time. I cannot wait for the day I get to see TTMOE again. I think we saw each other at Fleet Foxes in the city once! Always good to see ya dude.
I love your commentary an I agree with you all the way but my only critique is that even though the cowboy chords in the song “neighbor” may make it the bands most country “song” I feel that their tiny desk concert is the most country they ever sounded and is my favorite set list... It’s dat banjo that really drives it home!
HELLO and THANK YOU for watching :) If you enjoyed this video, check out the one I just did on Big Thief!

:) YOU are awesome for watchin, thank ya for the kind words :) live luv pinegrove ❤️
Most bands I get tired of listening too nonstop after a year or so. But I’ve been nonstop listening to Pinegrove for like 3 years now and never get tired. I think it’s safe to say this is one of my top bands of my life
this is exactly the way i feel about them as well
Same here
Anyone willing to watch this video all the way through probably likes them a decent amount 😜
I think the melodic chord and combo vocals helps alot. they sound great on almost every song.
no way i was just watching your videos to find videos of FOD and i just saw your comment while listening to pine grove live performances lmao. that’s sick that you like them and moto
i feel like pinegrove has introduced a lot of country elements to a scene which previously did NOT embrace country elements. i NEVER thought i would like something so country, but their usage of it is truly masterful.
The bsckground banjo in that one song is killer

Cadmium can get stuck in your head for a week.

hell yeah!
Nice breakdown! I love Pinegrove so much.
thank ya! same 🥺
Came here from PG's IG story. Nice work!
tyty!
well put. Pinegrove is my favourite band. Got some squares tatted on my arm and I align my library by the colours on the spines of my books
Which arm? Got it on my left lmao
@@the_mav_nk2038 left as well. I got an ampersand & dots across my shoulder since this comment too
are you looking for a resolution?

Love that you mentioned that the songs are written "for guitar." It's one of the first things I noticed when playing the songs, the voicings and progressions flow so easily on the guitar with little usage of alternate tunings
exactly! makes it all super fun to play, maybe encourages singing practice since guitar isn’t so bad :)
pinegrove has been so influential in my own music writing, this video is such a cool assessment of their work! thank you for this!
been listening to pg for almost in 7 years now and its been such a pleasure to see them grow. what an awesome video!
ty! nice username too
Great video. I love pinegrove and it’s fascinating to watch you explain the complexity behind these beautiful songs.
gonna need you to do this for other music sir 🙏🏽🙏🏽
haha trust me, there are lots of people who do this way better than me, but I'm glad you enjoyed! maybe I'll take a look at some other artists I'm into in the future if there's enough interest :-)
Sergio Scardigno who else does these? I haven’t seen them at this level
Exactly my opinion👍🇩🇪
Awesome - also just want to note that the NPR Tiny Desk version of Waveform is incredible, props for using that footage specifically for that song!
ty!! it is, that’s my fave performance of it :)
This is cool, like an academic study of PG. I listen to all the mentioned genres, so it's making a lot more sense why their music is on my daily playlist.
Haha it quite literally was academic - but yeah me too man!
You packed in so much great analysis via 8 songs. I really appreciate your concise breakdown of each. Altogether great content and amazing subject, hope to see more!
thanks man!! definitely gonna be more at this point, so much demand after this one haha
it's wonderful too have such a clear and well-produced video analyzing the music of my favorite band. thank you
i’m glad you enjoyed!!
sick video dude, their songs have a lot to unpack but you do it well !
thanks man! love their stuff, my prof's super into them too so we was like "yeah totally make your final about them", loved doin it!

Great video. Explained everything I wanted to know about this awesome band!
glad you enjoyed!
Enjoyed this a lot man. It would be great to see you do more of these videos.
Thank ya! Trying not to be so laser-focused on tech, so maybe I'll work more of these in :-)
So happy to hear young band with such musical creativity. The future just got brighter.
Subbed to show appreciation for the great work you put into this. Can't wait to start watching your other videos
ty homie!!
That was killer. Would love to see more concise analyses like these.

Definitely worth it :)

Pinegrove is a top 3 band for me
