Pinegrove’s 2020 album Marigold marks a reflective and subdued chapter for the band, recorded at their Amperland studio and produced by frontman Evan Stephens Hall and guitarist Sam Skinner. Blending Americana and indie rock, the album explores themes of isolation, personal growth, and emotional turmoil. Critics generally praised its emotional depth and warmth, though some noted it was less immediate than earlier work. Key tracks include “Phase,” which became their first to chart on Billboard. Overall, Marigold showcases a more contemplative side of Pinegrove following a challenging period.
