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.

lyrics
When morning comes to take your dreams away
Hold them in tightly
Don’t let them fade
Hold them close with every breath you take
You’re tossing and turning
Your body is aching
While I pick a point and stare at it wide awake
While you are sleeping, there’s something I must say
But I sing instead til it all just sounds the same
The repetition of signals, going straight to your brain
See they come so easy, and leave without a trace
Float off in the distance, til they reach outer space
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
