Pinegrove’s Cardinal (2016) blends indie rock, alt-country, and emo with introspective lyrics and warm, lo-fi production. Frontman Evan Stephens Hall explores themes of love, distance, and growth through heartfelt, melodic songs like “Old Friends” and “Aphasia.” Praised for its sincerity and authenticity, the album has drawn comparisons to early Wilco and Built to Spill.
