Scene-ior Selections

Mike Donovan, Gina Twardosz, Caroline Lezny, Hanna Kennedy and Charlie Kenney | Wednesday, April 29, 2020

  With four years gone, now our senior Scene writers share their collegiate swan song. These songs make up the soundtrack to a collection of memories — some vivid, some faded — and they capture the essence of what Scene is often about: the people and the music.   “Aphasia” – Pinegrove By Senior Scene

You don’t hate country

Mike Donovan | Thursday, April 2, 2020

The phrase “I hate country” rambles in shambling echoes around circles of self-described music nerds: a whiney chorus erupting from a choir of skinny little malcontents with mouths bigger than their record collections. “I hate country!” they sputter, hoping their spray might hit the nearest [Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Dierks Bentley, Toby Keith, Florida Georgia

Fables, faith and fashion-less folly: a Pinenut responds to ‘Marigold’

Mike Donovan | Friday, January 31, 2020

The New Yorker’s Kelefa Sanneh opened his even-handed assessment of Pinegrove’s “complicated comeback” at a music festival on “a hot Michigan afternoon in September, 2017.” Recalling Pinegrove’s set with measured objectivity, Sanneh chronicled a strange utterance. “I feel it’s unfortunate that I have to wear sunglasses,” bandleader Evan Stephens Hall explained to his devoted fans

Scene’s Selections: New Singles

Charlie Kenney, Willoughby Thom, Mike Donovan and Ryan Israel | Monday, September 16, 2019

A few artists released new singles. Scene listened. Run it back. “Moment” — Pinegrove  By Mike Donovan, Scene Editor  Momentary pleasures — the type initiated, felt and lost at a pinprick on the timeline — feed on the luxury of not knowing. Neither future nor past have any bearing on the instantaneous. What’s now is

Art as the critic: ‘Skylight,’ language and the ambiguity of sexual communication

Mike Donovan | Thursday, October 4, 2018

On the relationship between the artist and his or her art, I side with Michel Foucault — even though “It has been understood that the task of criticism is not to re-establish ties between the author and his work or to reconstitute an author’s experience through his works and, further, that criticism should concern itself

Signs left un-signified: semiotics, sexuality and the love song

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

“I wanna make something like that,” Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove tells Pitchfork, referencing The Sound and the Fury, Ulysses and The Crying of Lot 49 “— a love album about semiotics, or a semiotics album about love.” Harmless, it seems. His “&” EP investigates a lone character, the ampersand, dissecting its implications tentatively. Its

Guidelines for the safe consumption of sadness

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, April 26, 2017

If you were to take a tour of my headspace, you’d probably get lost in the vast collection of pop culture references, meticulously organized to describe the effects of hopeless romanticism and sporadic solipsism on my otherwise pleasant life. At the end of the tour, you’d wonder why I would spend so much time thinking

Jimmy Kemper, Erin McAuliffe, John Darr, Kelly McGarry, Christian Bunker, Adrian Mark Lore, Brian Boylen, Adam Ramos, Mike Donovan, Jack Riedy and Maggie Walsh | Wednesday, December 7, 2016

A Tribe Called Quest — “We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your service” By Adrian Mark Lore Suffice it to say that 2016 was a turbulent year, both domestically and internationally. For the music industry, it was a year of sad departures — the death of legends like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen— as well

Half Waif: new identities in reflection

Erin McAuliffe | Tuesday, September 20, 2016

Nandi Rose Plunkett sat on a deck in the Catskill Mountains overlooking a pond surrounded by trees as she spoke to me via a landline back on Aug. 15. Plunkett, current member of New Jersey indie rock outfit Pinegrove, speaks with me fresh off of the May release of “Probable Depths,” the sophomore album from her synth-pop

A Pinegrove show is the place to be

Erin McAuliffe | Thursday, September 1, 2016

On July 29 I sat in the dark on a plaid couch with the lead singer of a band I saw perform three times earlier that day. Or technically, the previous day — the packed concert schedule kept the band busy until 1 a.m in the morning. The singer was Evan Stephens Hall and his band, Pinegrove, had
