With their debut, The Pine Tree, The Mushroom & the End of the World, The Nghiems have created an album that’s equal parts dream pop and indie rock, with a melodic sensibility that brings to mind a more drowsy, orchestral, piano-driven Pavement. The Nghiems showcase their earnest songwriting on the entirety of the record from the lighthearted and playful tracks "Nothing to Fear", "Traveling Coat", "Dancin Shoes", and "Dum Dum Dah Dah" to the more heartfelt tracks "Everything in Between" and "Morning". Also accompanying the album is a beautifully illustrated storybook The Pine Tree, The Mushroom & the End of the World, making this debut album all the more outstanding.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Pine Tree, The Mushroom, & The end of the World

lyrics
It’s anyone’s guess which way that it will
The wind when it blows, it comes and it goes
So, if I told you things that you should never know
Would you stay, come on don’t you know
Well she stands outside in the rain
Hoping for rainbows, to pass through the day
And he can’t stand being alone
But is afraid to let the truth be known
For all I know, and what it is that I’ve been told
It’s fortune that seems to favor the bold
But who am I to say that I could ever know
Where to stay, and when to go
Well she stands outside in the cold
Hoping for raindrops, to turn into snow
And he can’t stand being alone
But is afraid to let the truth be known
It’s anyone’s guess which way that it will
The wind when it blows, it comes and it goes
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
Indie pop is actually punk and exhibit A is the Particles, whose music gets a welcome reissue on Australian indie powerhouse Chapter Music. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2023
