3. Sound

Pine have released their debut EP titled "You Bury Me." This album shows the band in a very folky indie way. They have a raw feel to them with female fronted vocals here. The band has a similar sound to that of a Metric or a Magneta Lane, so if you like either of those bands, you could like this one. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, it certainly needs some work, but it also seems they were going for that dirty indie sound as well. The instrumentation here is pretty average, but they are a new band and they will get better with time. Now onto the vocals and lyrics. These vocals are clear and you can understand what she is singing about, but as the quality as a whole isn't the best, they are a little raw and in the background. She can sing however. With the lyrics, they are something to be worked on as well, but they are not bad. The lyrics just need more meaning and substance then they currently have. With some tweaking and progression, they could get it. Pine have done an alright job on their sort of welcome to album here. It is a nice start and it will get better with work and time. We are happy to be able to see what the band is about and get a snippet of their work. Hopefully we get to see this band grow. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
