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
So I want to be a songwriter
But I can’t find the notes to call my own
For when I sing em they sound so alone
They’re missing pieces
Someone please beat those drums…..get em James
So we can play along
Bring the bass
Accompany those drums
I’ve had the feeling now for much too long
The time is right for us to prove those cats wrong
Cause we know something they don’t know
It’s not okay to be so low
We don’t much to make it go
Just hearrrt and soull ooohhh ohhh ohhhh
Cause we know something they don’t know
It’s not okay to be so low
We don’t much to stay afloat
Just hearrrt and soull ooohhh ohhh ohhhh
For The WinNNNNNNNNNNNN
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
