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
Oh no
It’s the end of the world they say
But I think it will be okay
Cause my hand’s clutching yours
Don’t look now
It seems these mountains are crumbling down
But there’s nothing to fear my dear
Cause I’m always near
And ohhhheyyyyyyyiiiiii
We will be waiting for this to pass
Ohhheyyyyyiiiiiii
There will not be any turning back
And ohhhhhheyyyyyyyiiiii
Here they come around again
Singing this will be the end ohhhhhhhhhh
What the freak
These snakes are raining down on mainstreet
But you can take shelter underneath
I’ll be your umbrella
And when the sky
Turns as black as the darkest night
I’ll be your candle…your burning light
Don’t worry I’ll lead the way
And ohhhheyyyyyyyiiiiii
We will be waiting for this to pass
Ohhheyyyyyiiiiiii
There will not be any turning back
And ohhhhhheyyyyyyyiiiii
Here they come around again
Singing this will be the end ohhhhhhhhhh
Oh no
It’s the end of the world they say
But I think it will be okay
Cause my hand’s clutching yours
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
