  • 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 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I tried it once, a time or two ago
But I lost the beat
My feet were just to slow
But all at once it started it up to soon
And all at once the music filled the room
And up and down, the rows were waving
Side to side, the columns swaying
All at once, I heard them saying
1,2,3 follow my lead
1,2,3 why can’t you see
1,2,3 why can’t you see…..
That my left side can’t do what right side will
My hands can’t move and my feet stay still
When all I wanted was to make the bill
To dance it off so I could feel
The beat trickle down from my trunks to my roots
So some day I could fill those shoes
And dance it off from here to the moon
But all at once it started it up to fast
And all at once I knew I could not last
And up and down, the rows were waving
Side to side, my limbs were flailing
All at once, I heard her saying
1,2,3 follow my lead
1,2,3 why can’t you see
1,2,3 why can’t you see…..
That my left side can’t do what right side will
My hands can’t move and my feet stay still
When all I wanted was to make the bill
To dance it off so I could feel
I tried it once, a time or two ago
But I lost the beat
My feet were just to slow
And all at once it started it up to fast
And all at once I knew I could not last
