Pines

A nearly seventy-minute cinematic folk odyssey. Lush piano and woodwind arrangements breathe life into a sprawling narrative of the natural world.

It's a 70-minute musical fairy tale about a tree that will actually make you cry.

A deeply immersive, reverent exploration of the natural world that feels both ancient and intimately personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sprawling seven minute opening of Pinesong that establishes the record's patient, cinematic pace

the transition into the wordless, rhythmic pulse of Dance of the Gray Whales

the sudden, soaring emotional peak during the final minutes of Now Is the Start
